This worked! Thanks!

Just a guess, but perhaps your custom module uses the internal low frequency clock?

During initialization, you'll see sample code something like:

nrf_clock_lf_cfg_t clock_lf_cfg = NRF_CLOCK_LFCLKSRC;
SOFTDEVICE_HANDLER_INIT(&clock_lf_cfg, NULL);

If your module uses the internal LF clock, you need to change NRF_CLOCK_LFCLKSRC definition from NRF_CLOCK_LF_SRC_XTAL to NRF_CLOCK_LF_SRC_RC.

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

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

Have you tried without the bootloader?

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

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?
