Moving from PCA10056 to PCA10059

Hi,

I've developed software using PCA10056 (using nRF5_SDK_15.0.0_a53641a) and I would like to test it on PCA10059.

Can you direct me to the new board files that need to be replaced?

Thanks,

Daniel

  • That is correct. If you look at the DK there is a connector on the short end close to the usb contact, called Debug Out. You need a cable that fits there, called a 10 pin segger cable.

    If you connect this cable from the DK to the P1 pin headers (that you need to get and solder on), and power the dongle, it will detect that there is another nRF Connected, and it will program that nRF instead. 

     

    If you have several DKs, you can test this quite easily by connecting Debug Out on one DK to Debug In on another DK, power the other DK, and flash a project to the first DK. You will see that it is the DK connected through Debug In that is programmed.

     

    There are quite a few cases regarding this on DevZone, but I am on my way out of the office now, and will not be back until Thursday. You can see if you find some more info in some other cases. Search for something like "program custom board via DK", and I will come back to you on Thursday.
