Porting from nRF52832 to nRF52810

Hi Nordic Support

I have been working to port a blinky variant project and have found previous threads useful for guidance. I'm working with Segger Embedded Studio and have made the following modifications to the .emProject file....

Also deleted refs to NRF52 & NRF52XXAA in the pre-processor defs...

Appears to build and load the target ok which is the Fanstel BT832A (on the Fanstel EV board) and programmed via the nRF52 DK.

The application was working fine on the same Nordic DK.

However, when I try and run in Debug Mode I keep hitting a "Vector Catch" and so I think my porting process is not completed accurately. This initially stops at a low address in the memory, 0x8C8. Perhaps you can take a look and advise on any errors and or supplementary things to do please.

    I made another observation in regards the Pca10040e_s112 blinky project. If I use Segger v5.10 the application (without any mods by me) does not progress passed ble_stack_init(); call in Debug Mode. If I use Segger v3.50 it works ok. I'll stick on v3.50 for now.

     You are testing this on an actual nRF52810, and not emulated on nRF52832, right? If you are using an nRF52810, did you remove the DEVELOP_IN_NRF52832 preprocessor definition? Did you remove it from all settings tabs (Release, Common, Debug)?

    Best regards,
