Hi.
I tried to create a server using nRF connect but the error below appears.

I tried to install all the previous versions, but they all failed.

I use the PCA10040 V0.9.0 board.

Hi, 

Could you update to the latest version, nRF Connect v3.2.0 and Programmer v.1.2.3?

It will ask to update the J-Link Software version 6.44. Please agree to install it. 

Please let me know it helps or not. If not, please provide the complete log again. Thanks.

Hi.
Amanda. Thank you.
I'm using nRF Connect v3.2.0 now. I updated everything.
J-Link Software is also using version 6.44e.
The previous log was written to the log file.
This is the log displayed in the log window.

Sorry ... The problem is not solved yet.

Hi, 

Click Add/remove apps (uninstall nRFconnect), go into {user}/AppData and removed everything that has *nrf*connect in the name, and then install apps or update existing apps. If this still cannot help, you can try to flash the server image manually by the following command lines and images.

nrfjprog --family NRF52 --program s132_nrf52_6.1.1_softdevice.hex --chiperase --verify

nrfjprog --family NRF52 --program ble_connectivity_s132_uart_pca10040.hex --sectorerase --verify

nrfjprog --family NRF52 --reset

• s132_nrf52_6.1.1_softdevice.hex is under <nRF5_SDK_15.3.0>\components\softdevice\s132\hex
• ble_connectivity_s132_uart_pca10040.hex is under <nRF5_SDK_15.3.0>\examples\connectivity\ble_connectivity\hex

Hi,

I cannot use the bl_connectivity_s132_aut_pca10040.hex. When I execute the command, the following message is displayed.

ERROR: The file specified is not a valid hex file, has data outside valid areas
ERROR: or does not have data in valid areas.

I think I should use the Hexa file for pca10040e.
However, there is no hexafile for pca10040e in s132.

So I programmed Ble_connectivity_s112_aut_pca10040e.hex using s112 but the same problem still appeared.

 Hi, 

Unfortunately, I just got the information that the PCA10040 V0.9.0 board which chip ID is Engineering B cannot support anymore.

Please use the new version of nRF52832 DK.

Hi 

Ok Amanda.

Thank you~. I'll consider the new version
