Secure DFU ble debug code

hello

I am using sdk 15.3 example code of DFU (secure_boot loader \ pca10040_ble)

I want to debug code but i can not.I getting error like that "Error Flash Download Failed - Cortex-m4"

I am using s132_nrf52_6.1.1_softdevice .i have using nrf52832 board and Compiler Keil 5

Also i have setting address of IROM1 = 0x78000 and Size 0x6000,  IRAM1 =0x200057B8 and size 0xa848.

Please help me to resolve these query

  • Hello,

    Does the project build without any errors? Please post the Build output log in case it provides more information about the flashing issue.

  • Yes Project build without any error

    Please Prefer attachment file it will shown you address setting and Build outputBuild Output and Address Setting

  • Thanks for confirming that it's not a build issue. Could you also include the log when you are attempting to flash the device? 

    Also, try to do a full chip erase first with nrfjprog or with the programmer app. 

    e.g., nrfjprog --erase

  • Hello 

    I am also done with Full chip erase but still we found same issue.

    please refer attachment file this is log file of flash

  • Hi,

    The IC does not have a JTAG interface, only SWD. Maybe that's why the erase fails. Check if "SW" is selected in the Jlink settings.
