burning bootloader and uploading program

Craig Hoffman

Hello,

I have been trying to upload a program and continually get the error; Timed out waiting for acknowledgement from device. Failed to upgrade target. No data received on serial port.

I have tried burning Bootloader but get the same above error message. I have tried this procedure on 2 - nRF52832-DK boards, an Adafruit Bluefruit Feather nRF52832 and a personal project using an nRF52832 MDBT42Q-512KV2. I have tried with both a Mac and PC. I am using Bootloader "0.3.0 SoftDevice s132 6.1.1. Furthermore I have made attempts with J-Link for Bluefruit nRF52, Bootloader DFU for Bluefruit nRF52 using Arduino 1.8.12. I have used various versions of Adafruit nRF52 versions through Board manager. Furthermore I have tried programing using a command prompt on both the PC and Mac. I have used multiple Serial to USB cables.

That about sums it up. The only thing I can get to intermittently work is burning the bootloader to a nRF52832-DK board that will the only accept one upload of a program. The I try to upload another program I get the same above error until I burn the bootloader again. It will then accept a program but only once. How strange!!! - this process only works on one DK board.

Anything suggestions on what to do next to get things moving ahead?

I appreciate any feedback you may have.

    Hello Edvin,

    I am able to burn bootloader and upload Blink sketch to the Adafruit Feather nRF52832 breakout board. I am able to accomplish this using Arduino v1.8.13 IDE through the USB port.  Please see the following:

    USB.pdf

    When I try with the Jlink using a 10 pin connector, I get the following error:

    JLink.pdf

    When I run nrfjprog I get an error asking to run log.log.

    Attached is log.log

    Arduino doesn't use a programmer, but a serial/usb bootloader (not sure what). This can be used to update the application running on the device. However, if you try to upload a bootloader, perhaps this bootloader doesn't want to replace itself. You have to ask Arduino about details regarding this.

    When I try with the Jlink using a 10 pin connector, I get the following error:

     So now we are trying to do this directly with a programmer. Is the breakout board powered correctly? What is the voltage on your VDD? Does your JLink programmer support that voltage? It is a known issue that some evaluation boards use a low voltage, and that not all jlink programmers support this voltage.

    Can you show me a picture of your JLink setup, and verify that your board is powered externally (not via the programmer)?

    Best regards,
