nRF 52832 Configuration Problems with nRFgo Studio

[polimarte]

Hi and thanks in advance for help!

I have purchased an nRF52832 DK and the nRF52832. I'm a newbie to embedded systems, and nordic products. I just started to understand things on the nRF52 sdk and documentation online. 

I have problems in the configuration of nRFgo Studio and the communication of the DK with my sparkfun breakout of nRF52832. After several tips taken form this blog and on the web i tried to install the latest version of the Jlink Segger and the one of the Command-line-tools. Than i installed the NFgo Studio. The error was "make sure nrfjprog is installed". I tried different installation orders but nothing changed.

So I tried to first install the Studio and than upgrade the segger jlink with the latest version( V682c). Now the device is detected but when i erase all the error showed is "unable to find or open the jlinkarm dll". I'm running out of ideas, can you help me guys?

Thanks, I would like to use nRF go studio because I need to handle ant modules.  The  connect seems to me useful to manage low energy Bluetooth, right?

I understand, thanks for the explanation.
Will you be doing BLE and ANT, or just ANT?

Yes, the nRF Connect does unfortunately not have any ANT modules yet.

Than i installed the NFgo Studio. The error was "make sure nrfjprog is installed". I tried different installation orders but nothing changed.

Going back to your original ticket: what do you see when you write the command : ' nrfjprog -v ' in a windows command prompt, what does it output?
We will need to make sure that nrfjprog is properly installed before we can proceed with the installation troubleshooting.

Looking forward to resolving this issue together!

Best regards,
Karl

I need to work only in ANT.

This is a try to recover (i want to upload the softdevice) with the first having connected only the DK and the second one with both the DK and the nRF52832 breakout.

Hello,

Thank you for clarifying this.
Since nRF Go Studio is legacy, I would perhaps then suggest working with the tools provided by ANT themselves.
Have you taken a look at the tools they offer?
I see that you are using nrfjprog version 8.5 - could you update your nrfjprog to the newest version?

It seems that nrfjprog is unable to detect the boards.
Could you ensure that windows have properly
What shows up when you connect a board to the PC via USB - does the JLink show up under "Ports" in Device Manager?

Best regards,

  I have updated the command line tools to the latest version.

By this, do you mean that the issue with nRF Go Studio is resolved?
- Are you now able to erase the boards, using nrfjprog / nRF Go Studio?
Or are you just clarifying that the device manager picture looks normal, and you are still seeing the "unable to find or open the jlinkarm dll" error in nRF Go Studio?

Best regards,
Karl

Yes exactly the device manager looks correct and also on the Studio i can see the DK detected, but i have still the error that you cited when i try to erase the boards. What i can do to solve that? 

Thanks,
