OpenOCD nRF52810: Can't erase or flash - Unknown device HWID 0x00000142

I've got myself one an E73-2G4M04S1A board containing an nRF52810 chip for evaluation.

I've setup an Raspberry Pi 1 rev2.0 with OpenOCD using this guide and wired it up according to this guide.

I was able to unlock the chip using these instructions.


My Problem: If I try to erase the chip using

nrf52 mass_erase

(which I'm instructed to do by the first guide before flashing the Adafruit bootloader)
I get:

Warn : Unknown device (HWID 0x00000142)
Error: Failed to erase reg: 0x4001e50c val: 0x00000001
Error: Failed to erase the chip

When I try to flash it without erasing first I get:

** Programming Started **

Using the "set WORKAREASIZE 0" mentioned in the warning above gives this instead:

"set WORKAREASIZE 0" followed by "nrf52 mass_erase 0" gives the same output as without "set WORKAREASIZE 0" (see the top of the post)



Does anybody have any ideas / insights for me? Thank you!
