To the kind attention of Nordic support team,
I have got a
1. PCA10040 board, with ble secured bootloader installed
2. PCA10056 that I usually work with every day, these days
3. PCA10056 Preview (never used before)
4. PCA10059
I can upload firmware using nrfutil dfu ble and nRFConnect when using PCA10056 Preview and PCA10059.
But when trying with the other PCA10056, I cannot succeed. I'm doing test with same USB cable, same USB port. Terminal opened as administrator. I'm using sdk15.2,
nrfutil version 6.0.1 nRFConnect v3.3.0 with bluetooth low energy option v2.3.2.
What could theoretically be the issue? Why the procedure just fail only when using a particular board? Is it safe to conclude that it is not working the board? Every board I use, I tried doing/not doing an nrfjprog --eraseall before putting it to the dfu test.
This is what happens when using that one particular PCA10056 board:
Board already flashed with connectivity firmware.
