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

rbunn

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:

    From the target setup it is apparent that you are setting the executable IROM address space to 0x00000-0x1FFFF.

    This will mean that any code you generate will try to overwrite the soft device, so the erase fails.

    What you need to do is select the correct build target: either nrf51822_xaa_s110 (256kB) or rf51822_xaa_s110 (128kB).

    This will set the IROM addresses as 0x18000-0x1FFFF.

    That does not overlap the softdevice and is where the soft device expects an application to be.
