Error in adding support for programming nRF5340 in SES

[Radhika Krishnan]

As per the section - "Adding support for programming nRF5340 in SES" in the document https://developer.nordicsemi.com/nRF_Connect_SDK/doc/latest/nrf/ug_nrf5340.html, I had downloaded and installed J-Link Software and Documentation Pack (v662a). I copied JLink_x64.dll file from the J-Link installation directory into the bin folder of your SEGGER Embedded Studio (Nordic Edition) folder, replacing the existing file and restarted SES.

But, no paths "boards/arm/nrf5340_dk_nrf5340" exist in the zephyr directory and I am not able to load the board name as well. I am working on Windows-x64 machine,

Please advise how to configure nRF5340 in SES so that I can build and program the sample for nRF5340.

Thanks,

Radhika

Hi,

 

Which release of ncs are you on?

If you are on v1.1.0, then the nrf5340 board is not present: https://github.com/NordicPlayground/fw-nrfconnect-zephyr/tree/v2.0.99-ncs1-branch/boards/arm

If you checkout master, it should be:

cd path/to/ncs/nrf
git pull
git checkout master
west update

 

Could you try this and see if you can find the board now?

 

Kind regards,

Håkon

Hi,

Thanks for the update. I was on v1.10 earlier. Now I am able to add the board path. However I am facing a new error when loading nRF5340. The error is not observed when I load nRF9160 board. Attaching the error log

Thanks,

Hi,

 

The asset_tracker only works with the nRF9160 device:

Please see here with more information on what samples work on the nrf5340:

Hi,

Thanks for the update. Now I am using Bluetooth: Throughput sample referring to https://developer.nordicsemi.com/nRF_Connect_SDK/doc/latest/nrf/samples/bluetooth/throughput/README.html#ble-throughput. Solution is building fine without any error. After that I connected my nRF5340-PDK board and tried to program the sample to the connected board using Target -> Download zephyr/zephyr.elf. Following error is coming 

Do we need any other connections other than USB?

Please advise.

Thanks,

Radhika

Hi,

 

I will report this back to the team.

As a workaround, can you try to select the nRF53 device manually in the debugger settings? By right-clicking on "Solution <my project>" -> Options and navigation to the "Debugger" section:

 

Kind regards,
