flash a hex file to PCA10056

Hello,

I habe got a nRF52840-Development Kit. It is Herdware Revision 1.0.0.

While going through the Getting Started i find that the LEDs do not flash and that i have to istall the firmware v1.1.0

Following this instructions: "If step 5 below fails, click here to download version 1.1.0 firmware, and continue from step 7 to program the new firmware into your nRF52840 DK"

I loaded anRF52DKFW110.zip file containing just a single file, led_softblink_pca10040.hex file. But as I can not find any "step7" text - how do I flash the Hex-File?

I tried to flash the led_softblink_pca10040.hex file to my PCA1056 board using Segger Embedded Studio > Target > Download File.

All this with no success.

Please give me instructions on how to set the develoment kit to its starting pont.

Thanks Andreas

 

  • Hi,

     

    The PCA10040 hex file will assign other pins for button, LEDs etc than what are connected to buttons and LEDs in PCA10056. For some reason this is not included in this download. The easy fix is to download the SDK (which you should already have done) and find the example there. It is under /SDK v15.3/examples/peripheral/preflash .

     

    Best regards,

    Andreas
