nrf52840 Getting Started

[Muqarrab]

Hi,

I have started development on nrf52840DK. 

1-I have installed nrf Connect SDK v1.3.0.

2- I have also installed Segger Embedded Studio Nordic Edition. and selected nrf open SDK project(C:/Users/muqar/ncs/v1.3.0/zephyr/boards/arm/nrf52840dk_nrf52840).

 

Now I don't know what to do next?
Can you please help?

Basically I want to set up things then start an example where I want to sent value from mobile and want a LED to turn on/off.

Thanks Marte Myrvold,

At this step 
To inspect the details of the code that was programmed and the memory usage, click Debug -> Go.
I am getting this error.



Any suggestions, please??

Hi Marte Myrvold,

Yes, I have nRF52840DK. I am also attaching a picture of the board I have.

Hi,

Did you open SES from the Toolchain Manager as in the picture below, or did you open SES from somewhere else? Opening SES from the Toolchain Manager will automatically set up the environment so that you don't have to set it up yourself. If you're opening it somewhere else, you must remember to set these yourself.

If you're using the Toolchain Manager, could you try to update the toolchain?

Please also make sure you have installed the nRF Command Line Tools.

Best regards,

Marte

Hi Marte Myrvold,

When opening this project and Build and Run( Shown in this video : www.youtube.com/watch

Hi,

The guide you attached and the video you linked are both for the nRF5 SDK, while in your original post you were using NCS. If you've decided to use nRF5 SDK instead of NCS, you should not use the Toolchain Manager to install the toolchain or open SES, as that is for NCS. Instead you should follow a guide specifically for using SES with nRF5 SDK, as the one you have found. You should then install SES and other requirements as described in chapter 7 of the document you attached. The document is not the latest version of the documentation, but I think it should work. The latest can however be found here. 

Also, could you verify which version of nrfjprog and JLink you have with the following command: "nrfjprog --version"? Can you run "nrfjprog --recover" to recover the onboard nRF chip?

Best regards,

Marte

Hi,
Yes, I switched to nRF5 SDK as getting issues in NCS. But still getting issues :(
Should I now uninstall SEGGER for nordic addition and reinstall the given link(www.segger.com/.../)

Here is the requested info.

[Marte Myrvold]

Hi,

You don't need to uninstall the SES installation that was installed through Toolchain Manager. You can just install SES from the link in the document you attached earlier in addition.

It seems like there's a problem with the connection to the board. It could be a faulty cable or something with the board itself. This case has several links you could check out to see if any of them helps.

Best regards,

Marte

Hi Marte Myrvold,

I have ordered another board and get today. I have successfully uploaded the code on the new board.
Is there any solution for the previous board?


Also, I am getting the update dialogue. Should I update this? 

[Muqarrab]

Hi Marte Myrvold,

Can you please suggest me which example I can use for sending characteristics and add my own new characteristics(from nRF5 SDK)?

Any document/link to add services/characteristics in the Example project and add PWM/UART/timers turn different pins HIGH/LOW etc


Thanks!
