After programming S110 SoftDevice, I get "Erase Failed! Error: Download Failed - Cortex M0

I have a 51822-DK board. I have followed all of the instructions to set up the environment. Loaded all NRF tools, Keil v 5, install SDK. I began working on the examples. I was able to run the blinky example and load the chip. Then I programmed the S110 soft device. I loaded up the heart rate monitor example as suggested in the SDK documentation (using the pack installer) . I was able to successfully compile it but not able to load it onto the chip. I've wasted 2 days on this. Please help!

Here is some background on what I have already tried. Checked target and it is set to S110. Checked memory target. Checked programming algorithms. See attached screenshots of configuration. See screenshots for configuration.

I am getting the following output when trying to upload:

  • In a last ditch effort, I kept looking. I found another post that focused me back on the memory setting. I erased the flash with nrf studio and reprogrammed it. I noticed that the memory location changed in the application section of the window. I changed the memory in the target settings in Keil and recompiled it. I was able to upload. I'm not sure if it is fixed as the new application doesn't seem to work but I'll post that as a new question if I can't figure it out.
