Which SDK version are you using? Have you installed the MDK installer for IAR that is included in the root of the SDK directory?

Hi Jorgen, I am using SDK_14.0.0.No,i didn't installed MDK installer as i have licensed version of IAR 7.40. Will other SDK'S support IAR version 7.40 ? I have not seen device name with nRF52840 only nrf51XX is present in IAR version 7.40? Thank you.

The IAR version used for testing and verification of each SDK release, is documented in the release notes (found in documentation directory). You should be able to use your IAR version with any SDK, but you need to install the MDK for IAR from the SDK directory to add support for newer devices. This support is not built-in to the SDK or IAR version.

Thank You Jorgen,After installing MDK for IAR from the SDK directory and updating J-Link debugger to newer version IAR version 7.40 is working fine.

Can you elaborate more? Using IAR 7.50 I cannot see nRF52840 in list of devices and according to IAR release notes, it is only supported in 7.80: netstorage.iar.com/.../NordicSemiconductor.ENU.html
