Error at fds_init() with error of 0x0B

[Ameer Usman]

I wrote my program on PCA10056, N52840, with fds_init() it everything was working fine. Now using the same main.c file I wanted to program a N52832 which comes to PCA10040 but upon doing that I got an error on APP_ERROR_CHECK of 0x0B.

Can anyone give a lead as to why this is happening only because I am running the same program on a different chip.

Edit 1: I even tried the flash_fds example and ran it on PCA10040 using N52832 and it gave the same error, I did not change the example in any way and run it directly but still gave an error at fds_init();

Hi,

Which SDK version are you using?

fds_init() should return one of possible two values, either a FDS_SUCCESS or a FDS_ERR_NO_PAGES. A return of 0x0B ( 11 in decimal) indicates, that the function is returning FDS_ERR_NO_PAGES: "If there is no space available in flash memory to install the file system". Could you try to erase the content on the chip by using the command nrfjprog -e before you flash the example to the chip?

best regards

Performing a full erase on the chip did the trick, and now its working perfectly.

Thank you Jared!
