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.

Well I'm afraid the standard way is to use DK and thus having flashing and debugging sorted out thanks to SEGGER J-Link OB. All the tutorial on this page and Nordic Infocenter are suited for that set-up. If you want to use different flasher (SEGGER J-Link on STM32) and different target board layout (custom instead of nRF52 DK) then you have two more steps to solve. If your STM32 board works with SEGGER J-Link then you should be able to erase it with nrfjprog or nRFgo Studio. I would stay on that topic until succeeding. Then you can move to compiling some of nRF5 SDK v14 examples with your favorite IDE and toolchain (there are like 5 or more options) and then debugging through LED/GPIO/UART and logical analyzer + UART serial to USB cable (if you have any). Anyway if you encounter problems on that path it's always 1st search for related Q&S and if no help found then ask new question.
