Can't run SoftDevice applications on custom module

[Alaa]

Hello,

I'm trying to load BLE UART example on a custom module with nrf52832. I'm using SDK 14.

On the EVK it runs successfully, and I have the following addresses map:

(Application: 0x23000, SoftDevice: 0x009d)

But I can't run it successfully on my module. It flashes successfully but seems like it can't find `main()`. Here's the addresses map on my module:

(Bootloader: 0x7f000, Application: 0x23000, SoftDevice: 0x009d)

It's worth mentioning that I can run successfully sample applications that do not require SoftDevice (such as ADC example), which has the application at address 0x0.

Any ideas how to solve this problem?

Thanks

Could you elaborate on "can't find main()"? Does it mean that you never enter main()? What if you go into debug mode and put a breakpoint in the start of main()? Do you hit it?

I go into debug mode and set a breakpoint in main, but it's not reached. Nothing runs...

Have you tried without the bootloader?

I'm not sure how to do this... Doesn't burning the SoftDevice erase the whole system? I burn exactly like I burn on the EVK

Just ditch the bootloader with the "erase all" button. NRF bootloaders won't start an application that was flashed via SWD by default.
