Unable to flash target board using nrf52840 DK

Hello, 

I am unable to flash target board using my nrf52840 Dev board. I have two dev boards and I am able to flash the target with the other dev board.

The target board is based on mdbtv50. 

I have not made any hardware changes to the Dev board. However, I am able to run any of the examples on the DK and it works fine. 

I have attached the J-link commander and nrf connect log files. Please assist me with this,

  • Hi

    Andreas is travelling, so I will be taking your case. If you can't provide a picture, I'll take your word for it as far as hardware connections go. Are there no differences in the two DKs other than one not being able to flash the target device? Are you able to flash any other chips if you have any available? Are the debugger versions the same as well?

    I.E.
    1.0.0
    2018.17
    123456xxx (or something)

    What exactly happens when you try flashing the target device? Do you get any error codes?

    Best regards,

    Simon

  • When i connect the faulty DK to the custom board and hook up the DK to my computer, I do not see the target device on nRFgo studio. when I try to program an application/softdevice it gets programmed on the DK instead of the custom board. 

    The faulty one has the following version numbers

    1.0.0

    2018.33

    683578621

    the one which is working well has the following version numbers

    1.0.0

    2018.49

    683886294
