Program page success but nothing programmed

Pra_Engr

In the nRF52832 (Laird BL652 module) I have programmed.

MBR + SoftDevice from 0x0000 0000
Application from 0x0002 6000 ~ 0x0005 927C

Now trying to program additional application hex.

nrfjprog.exe -v
nrfjprog version: 8.5.0
JLinkARM.dll version: 6.44h

nrfjprog.exe -f NRF52 --erasepage 0x00065000
Erasing addresses 0x65000 to 0x65FFF.

:00000001FF

Using nRF Go Studio 1.21.2,
....hex programmed successfully.
Verification failed.

And there is nothing in the page 0x00065000.

I don't see anything wrong here.
Do you?

Please let me know the solution.

    Yes, it appears to be skipped for some reason. Can you try one last thing? Try to program all hex files with nrfjprog.

    1. nrfjprog --program <name>.hex --sectorerase // repeat step for all hex files
