How to use NRF Connect Programmer with nRF52DK ?

[Ukoolele]

Hi,

I am trying to upload HEX files to a nrf52832 (on a Sparkfun Breakout board) with a nRF52 DK. The problem is nRF Connect Programmer don't recognize them. 

I installed and verified all the toolchain, and I installed SEGGER Embedded Studio, but I can't clone the SDK, that's not work and I don't understand how I have to install the 4 GitHub repositories (I'm new to GitHub).

Could you help me ?

Thanks you !

Update : After changing my USB cable, nRF Connect recognize something (an address and the COM port), but it doesn't recognize the nRF52 DK. What is my mistake ?

Hi Ukoolele,

Just to check, did you follow the sparkfun tutorial in the below link?

https://learn.sparkfun.com/tutorials/nrf52832-breakout-board-hookup-guide?_ga=2.257741388.673976743.1559037992-823729854.1559037992

For the Github repository just download the zip file in the first page and use nrfgo studio to flash the bootloader.

Hi Mohammed,

Yes I followed this tutorial. At the end they show how to connect the nRF52 DK to the breakout board, this is what i did. I don't understand how I can send my HEX files to the breakout board through the DK, with nRF Connect.

When I speak about Github, I am reffering to the software nRF Connect and his "Getting started assistant" application.

Thanks you,

Hi,

The nRF Connect SDK is meant to be used with the nRF9160 LTE chip. Development on the nRF52 series is currently not supported and you should use this SDK instead: https://www.nordicsemi.com/Software-and-Tools/Software/nRF5-SDK 

Have you tried to program any samples code to the 52DK to verify that your setup is working?

Hi,

Ok so I just want to know one thing, how I can flash my breakout board through my nrf52dk board ? I saw this is possible on the sparkfun tutorial, but never explained, and I am a bit lost. 

I've already made a little program with the SDK, and I want to flash it into my breakout board.

Thanks
