Issues programming my nRF51822 for the first time

Hello All,

I'm trying to program a NRF51822 module for the first time. I'm using the Jlink for ARM from IAR which is segger rebranded. It supports JTAG and SWD.

We got a module from Raytac. The module mfg recommended a 12K ohm pulldown resistor tied to the SWCLK pin. I went ahead and added the pull down.

Using Keil, when I try to program I get an error message saying that "Erase Failed!" but if I go on Keil and do a "Full Erase" it works fine. I know that if the full erase worked my Softdevice is gone but at this point I just need to overcome the programming issue then I will program the Softdevice back.

Please see below. Any clues?

Load "C:\Nordic Semiconductor\nRF51 SDK_v6.1.0.0\Nordic\nrf51822\Board\pca10001\blinky_example\arm\_build\blinky_arm.axf" Set JLink Project File to "C:\Nordic Semiconductor\nRF51 SDK_v6.1.0.0\Nordic\nrf51822\Board\pca10001\blinky_example\arm\JLinkSettings.ini"

  • I tried lowering to 1Mhz and to 100KHz same problem.
