Can't unlock and program an external NRF52832 chip using NRF -DK.

ileneken3

I am trying to program an EBYTE 2G4M04S1B module. After connecting to the NRF-DK, in nRFgo Studio, I get the "No device detected, or readback protection may be set GUI", but when I hit the "Recover" button, it just says: "Recover failed: Unknown error".


If I try from the command line using nrfjprog.exe, the following is logged:

    Hi ileneken3,

    nRFGo Studio is deprecated for the nRF52 Series. You should use either nrfjprog from nRF5 Command Line Tools  or the nRF Programmer app in nRF Connect for Desktop. 

    How are you connecting the nRF52 module to the nRF52 DK?

    Could you try to run the following command

    nrfjprog -f nrf52 --recover --log

    I hooked it up according to this:

    Ok and you have verified that you have connected to the correct pins(SWDCLK and SWDIO) on the module as well as if its powered with the appropriate VDD? 

    A picture of the setup would be useful.

    I verified the connections, and measured the 3.3V coming out of the serial adapter. All the 3.3V is in the orange mini breadboard. All the ground is in the white one.
