Can't connect to custom nrf52 board with J-LINK

[navarrocantero]

We come from here : 

https://devzone.nordicsemi.com/f/nordic-q-a/35180/error-with-nrf52dk-and-mac-os-hs

Now, i have a new development kit and i can program it but now i have a problem with the J-LINK connection, i cant connect with my nordic 58323 custom board 

I have tried from j-link, and j-link commander, and nrfjprog --recover, nothing works :( 

I have tried with a few usb wires too, and a few laptops with differents environments (windows, mac)

Here is the  nrfjprog --recover log :

nrfjprog --recover --log

can anyone help me ?

Hi,

 

Could you check the current of your external board, by connecting an am-meter in series with the VDD taken from the nRF5x-DK?

Also, could you check that the "nRF current measurement" header, next to the USB header, is shorted (if you have cut the SB9 solder bridge)?

 

Have you tried using Jlink Commander to see what the output is there?

 

Kind regards,

Håkon

Thanks again Håkon.

I have measured the current consumption between the  VDD jumpered with VTG from my nRF52-DK and my custom board. 

In idle was 29µA and when i tried the nrjprog --recover  oscilates between 33µA and 130µA.

The nrf current measurement dosn't have any cut, Its a new development board with factory settings. 

 

I have tried the jlink commander  too and here is the log : 

regards!
