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

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

nrfjprog version 9.7.3

can anyone help me ?

  • If your board is in an assert-loop (RESET loop) occurring very early in the program, it might be hard to recover, as the debugger might not be able to connect fast enough before the nRF does a soft-reset. To avoid this, you should add the "DEBUG" flag when developing, as this would enable blocking assertions instead.

    What I would recommend is that you make a small script and loop over "nrfjprog --recover", here in bash (as you're using MacOS):

    #!/bin/bash
    
    while [ 1 ]
    do
    nrfjprog --recover -f NRF52
    done
    

    When running this script (CTRL+C to exit it), you continuously toggle the power to your external board (not the DK itself) by connecting/disconnecting the power line from the DK to the custom_board.

    Since you have an am-meter connected, you can plug/unplug one of the leads there.

     

    Best regards,

  • Thanks for your reply and your Script.

    It has not worked, but was a really solution. I think that if your scripts has not work, my nr5x from my custom boards are died.

    If you have something more Im here.

    Anyways a lot of thanks !
