Issue with NRF52832 Firmware installation

Hi We are developing custom boards with nrf52832 chip, and it is working well.

The issues occurs when installing firmware without "Erase All" process in nRFgo Studio

In this case, in which we process to "SoftDevice Write" process without "Erase All" process, the board doesn't work, and nRFgo Studio doesn't recognize the board again.

However, when we process "Erase All" before "SoftDevice Write", everythings good.

Could anyone explain why this issue occurs?

And is there any we could connect to board that is not recognized by nRFgo Studio?

Thanks.

Hi

I'm guessing this is because you're trying to overwrite code that's already on the chip, which is what causes these issues. In any case, I don't recommend using nRFGo Studio, as it is very old and no longer regularly updated. Instead, I'd recommend that you use the nRFConnect for Desktop Programmer app, which supports our newest devices and is updated on a regular basis. You should also make it a rule of thumb to erase the chip before writing new firmware onto it in order to avoid these kinds of errors.

Best regards,

Simon
