Not able to flash nRF5340 PDK anymore

Hey guys, 

All of a sudden, I'm not able to flash my nRF board anymore. I get the following message when I try to connect to the board using segger IDE.

And when I try west flash, I get the following:

As per that message, when I try "west flash --log", I get unknow command error.

Any help would be appreciated. 

Other info:

I'm pretty sure that it isn't a problem with the code I'm trying to flash or even anything on the PC because I have another one of the same board which works without any problem.

  • I tried both the solutions mentioned but still no luck, both gave me error as shown below:

    Nrfjprog and the nrf connect had been updated prior to executing the commands.

    Disappointed

  • Please try the latest version of the nRF-Command-Line-Tools. If it still cannot fix the issue, run the following commands, and provide the logs.

  • Hey Amanda, 

    Here is the outcome of the commands you requested

    APPLICATION.log

    NETWORK.log

    Also, this was printed out on the command line for both commands:

    At this point, I think the chip is dead.

  • Hi, 

    First of all, make sure the board is power cycled, the J-Link OB can sometimes lock up and cause the DK to be unresponsive. 

    The error log looks like it is unable to detect the family of the device. Please run the following commands. That should skip the step that generated the error, and may allow succeeding. If it still cannot work, please provide the log with --log name.log in the command. Thanks.

  • Hey,

    Now that I run the command, this is the only output from the log file for both cases. 

    Also, the command gives an error saying the following:

    thanks

  • Sorry for the mistake, it is "-f NRF53". I have modified the previous commands. Please try again.
