Soft Device + Application flash doesn't work with Eclipse

[Ben34]

Hello all,

I struggle to program nrf52 on Eclipse, and it works fine with Keil. Let me explain :

With Keil :

-I first flash softdevice 5.0 manually with JFlash Lite

-I flash my code with Keil,

it works fine. I can flash a merged hex file and my code after that, it is okay, my code is running

With Eclipse :

My code compiles (the same code), but if I flash the same softdevice, and my code, my code is not running.

I checked my project ld file and .map file : all is okay (i.e : same parameters in Keil),  my code starts at 0x23000

I am running out of ideas... Any help?

Thank you!

Eclipse does not automatically flash softdevice.  You need to flash Softdevice before from outside then Eclipse can flash and debug your firmware. Flashing Softdevice is only need to be done once.  You can refresh your firmware in Eclipse as many times as you like as long that you don't erase the softdevice region.

Hi,

Thank you for you response :) I am working with Makefile, and nrf commands like nrfjprog. I tried to use an example (low power pwm) and I managed to make it work! So something must be wrong with my initial code. I cocmmented all my main, and only used gpio for LED blinking : not succeed.; I try to run some debug to finid out what is going on, you'll be in touch
