I know this question has been asked before. As a beginner to Nordic, I tried to get the information here, but ended up even more confused.
I am trying to set up a Bluetooth connection following this tutorial https://devzone.nordicsemi.com/tutorials/b/getting-started/posts/getting-started-with-the-nrf5-development-kit using the nRF51 Development Kit and an nRF51-Dongle. When I set up Master Control Panel, I got the "No response from master emulator" message.
What I use:
- Master Control Panel 3.10.0.14, 64 bit version
- Windows 10 64 bit
- firmware folder of MCP contains a folder named "pca10000", this contains the files MEFW_nrf51822_0.11.0_firmware_1M.hex, MEFW_nrf51822_0.10.0_firmware_1M.hex, and MEFW_nRF51822_0.9.0_firmware_115K2.hex (only versions 9 and 11 show up in MCP)
- Hardware that worked with a 32 bit Windows system and Master Control Panel 3.10.0.14, 32 bit (the colleague who tried before me could at least once start a discovery)
What I tried:
- Flash the device via MCP
-> message "no response from master emulator" keeps coming
-> another dialogue window that says: "RBPCONF register indicates that the device is secured. For accessing memory the device needs to be unsecured. Note: Unsecuring will trigger a mass erase of the internal flash. Do you want to unsecure the device?" - Checked the device manager: the dongle shows up as "JLink CDC UART Port (COM4)", it also shows up as Port 4 in MCP
- Tried to send the firmware file via command line
-> error message "File could not be open for read" - Opened MCP as Administrator
- Uninstalled MCP and nRF Tools, reinstalled MCP
-> reinstallation of MCP reinstalled nRF Tools
-> reinstallation of MCP also installed JLink version V4.98c; before there were V6.20i and V6.30h installed
The error still persists.
Thank you for any ideas.
