PCA10028 firmware update problems

Kathryn

Hi, I am trying to use the nRF51DK (PCA10028 v.1.2.2).

I cannot get Windows 7 to recognize it via USB reliably. I have JLink v6.16a installed and when I plug in the board, if it recognized it, it is listed as drive F instead of removable drive JLINK. When I start nRFgo Studio there is a message from JLink saying that a new firmware version is available. When I try to update the board it ends in either a timeout error or a read error.

Windows 7 does recognize PCA10031 and allowed me to do the firmware update with no problem.

At this point all I am trying to do is get blinky loaded and working on PCA10028. Does anyone have suggestions for making it work?

Thank you.

    Thanks for the response! I found that the J-Link Configurator cannot see the PCA10028 board even though it is correctly listed in the Device Manager. I have tried to use the command line JLink.exe. Interestingly, JLink.exe version. 6.16j does not work with the board, i.e. it cannot read the board's current firmware version. When I use JLink.exe verion 6.16a, it can see the board (the current firmware can be read), however, the firmware update still fails with a read timeout. Frustrating. I feel like I'm missing something simple.
