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.

Oh yes, that disillusion coming from toy to Ferrari;) So beside need to understand little bit of ANSI C and getting used to little bit higher coding culture (like global defines and compile time switches, macros...) it's just little bit of routine, you can get it in few months. Or not, if you don't invest that little bi of time. There are general embedded development training courses all over the internet so you can go through these things. There are also alternatives to "raw" Nordic SDK like mbed which are trying to simplify the process and might remind you Arduino IDE.

Back to the "stuck at flash download and can't find that executable file" - then it looks like wiring problem because there are pre-compiled HEX files (that's usually the binary format everyone uses) in SDK so you don't need to do anything to start out of the box.
