Flashing a 3rd party NFR52832 with ST link V2 on Eclise?

[MikeLemon]

Hello,

I am in a little bit of trouble here trying to flash a 3rd party module that is mounted on a custom PCB I made with the SWD pins exposed for programming.

I've been using it with the Arduino IDE and the st link V2 so far(Thus flashed softdevice S132 on it already) but I want to make the transacting from it sins it lacks capabilities. any way I know it works in term of hardware.

Now I'm not interested in wasting my money on buying the Segger J link so I want to use the ST link V2 so far I've followed this tutorial: devzone.nordicsemi.com/.../ up to the point of "Flash download" build the blinky code successful and waiting to see how you flash the chip with it.

Does anybody have any experience with it? thanks for your time.

Yeah so this is still relevant.

I would go this way:

• Installing Keil MDK5 which can work without paid license up to 32kB of app binary.
• Open nRF5_SDK_14.0.0_3bcc1f7\examples\ble_peripheral\ble_app_blinky\pca10040\s132\arm5_no_packs\ project and recompile.
• If all is OK then go to project settings and instead of BOARD_PCA10040 global define set BOARD_CUSTOM. That will cause that in nRF5_SDK_14.0.0_3bcc1f7\components\boards\boards.h file it will direct to your custom board layout definition.
• Copy nRF5_SDK_14.0.0_3bcc1f7\components\boards\pca10040.h file into project space nRF5_SDK_14.0.0_3bcc1f7\examples\ble_peripheral\ble_app_blinky\pca10040\s132\config\ and rename it to custom_board.h. Open the file and align with your actual HW set-up (I cannot help you much here, you need to know what are you using and how).
