RE: PCA10059 Always enters bootloader when plugged in

Hi Eric

1. Have you seen the nRF52840 Dongle programming tutorial? It should explain every aspect of what's possible and not with the nRF52 Dongle.

2. You can set what regulator you like the chip to use in software in the register MAINREGSTATUS from the PS set to either Normal (0) or High (1).

3. Yes, you can, again, see the Dongle programming tutorial.

Best regards,

Simon

RE: PCA10059 Always enters bootloader when plugged in

UPDATE

I have bit the bullet and fully erased the chip. Now I have connected the dongle to a 3.3V supply and used the J-link to upload the PCA10059 bootloader with mbr. Now when powered on it enters the bootloader ilike it should. Now I want to porgram the dongle, but not sure how I should.

1. Can I connect the dongle to the USB port on my PC and upload code as normal using the bootloader?

2. Does the bootloader file set REGOUT0 to high voltage mode?

3. Can I connect the dongle to my J-link and upload code that way, but keep the bootloader intact so I can program it either way?
