JLinkARM DLL reported an error

[amarjeet]

Hi All,

I am beginner  for nrf52, and trying to flash my first program, i am using nRF5_SDK_14.2.0_offline_doc and JLink_Linux_V632c_x86_64.

while flashing, i am getting this error:

$ ./nrfjprog -e -f nRF52  --log
ERROR: JLinkARM DLL reported an error. Try again. If error condition
ERROR: persists, run the same command again with argument --log, contact Nordic
ERROR: Semiconductor and provide the generated log.log file to them.

here's the log.log file:

Please do suggest me the solution for it.

Are you using an nrf52 dev kit or a custom board? Which OS are you running? Linux? Can you see a JLINK drive under file explorer when you attach the device via USB?

[amarjeet]

Thank Bjorn for your time,

Actually issue was with hardware,i replaced with another hardware and it worked.

The answer for your question is here:

- yes, i am using nrf52 dev kit.

-i am running linux os.

-i can see JLINK driver under file explore.

Here's the part of log file which gives me hint that may be something wrong with the hardware:

Best Regards,

need  to test...also i don't know hardware testing...

can u suggest me how to test???

[Bjørn Kvaale]

Are you wondering how to test what is wrong with the hardware that gave you the errors you posted above? Are you using an nrf52 dev kit, a third party module or your own custom hardware?

[amarjeet]

yes, i am using nrf52 dev kit

[Bjørn Kvaale]

Have you tried using a different usb cable? Could you try running the command: nrfjprog -i. Do you see a Segger ID when you enter that command?

[amarjeet]

nop

[Bjørn Kvaale]

Does that mean you do not see anything with the command "nrfjprog -i". Can you see the JLINK drive in File Explorer when you attach the jlink to your computer? You might need to reupload the JLINK Firmware to the nrf52 dk. You can do that by downloading this file (choose the newest one), turn off the dev kit while it is hooked up to the pc, hold in the IF BOOT RESET button while turning on the dev kit & the kit should appear in bootloader mode in file explorer. Then, you can drag & drop the file you downloaded to the BOOTLOADER folder. This will reset the Interface MCU firmware. Then, power cycle the dev kit again & everything should work like normal.
