Monitor mode debug w/ nRF52840, SES 3.3, SDK14.1.0, BLE S140

Hi,

Is anyone successfully using MMD with the nRF52840 PVK, SES 3.3, recent SDK (e.g., 14.1.0) and S140 softdevice?

I followed the steps in this blog post both on Win10x64 and under Ubuntu 16.04x64, but in neither case have I had any luck. On Windows SES itself crashes after I dismiss the "monitor mode missing license" dialog and click Debug->Go. Under Ubuntu SES generates a log message complaining about the missing monitor mode debug license, and then it appears to simply run in "halt" mode as before.

I added two comments to the blog post yesterday (11/16/2017) describing my setup (with screen shots) but thought I'd also ask here in case this "Questions" section of the form gets more visibility.

Thanks! Don

  • Hi Johannes, regarding the SES crash on Windows, installing J-Link V6.22 as Chad suggested solved the issue for me. Regarding SES on Linux, I think one of my co-workers has an Ultra+ I can try but it's more convenient when working with the nRF52840 PVK to just use the on-board support. I didn't realize that MMD is truly for evaluation only. I assumed it was covered as part of the free Nordic license when developing on Nordic hardware. Thanks, Don
