Error with nrf52DK and mac OS HS

[navarrocantero]

Hello I'm using a macbookPro 2016 which only has usb-c and I can only connect the dk through a usb hub.

I have already installed the nrf5x-Command Line Tools for OSX but when I make the command nrfjprog --recover --log it gives me the error of:

BUG: 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 is the generated log, can you help me? Thank you

From your logs it basically looks like the board is not connected.

- How do you supply the board? (in similar cases the board has been powered from a battery)

- What card is it? (information on the sticker)

- Do you know if it already has FW on it?

[navarrocantero]

Yes, the behavior of the board is as if it were not connected.

I feed it using usb, as I said in a macbook pro with a usb hub but I have also tested in two other computers directly to the usb port and it is the same behavior.

The board is a PCA10040 V1.1.0 of 2016.16

The FW does not know what it takes, I only know that the bootloader is updated to the latest version.

Some time ago the nrf current measurement pins failed me and I had to solder them, can that be something to do?

thank you very much !

- It could have had an impact yes. 

Did it work before you soldered the pins?

 

[navarrocantero]

The problem that was found, was that the current measurement pins were not soldered to the board and started failing.
If I don't recall badly (this happened a while ago), the behaviour was similar, so it didn't work before.

[Martin Lesund]

I am glad that you figured out what caused the issue. 

 

Have a great day.
