Hello!
I am now working on a customer board based on NINA-B3 module (NRF52840).
I found a weird problem: after successfully flashing firmware through SWD for several times by common routines (nrfjprog --recover/--program/--pinreset), I can't flash again. It always returns with the following message:
ERROR: JLinkARM DLL reported an error. Try again. If error condition
ERROR: persists, run the same command again with argument --log, contact Nordic
ERROR: Semiconductor and provide the generated log.log file to them.
And the log messages are listed below:
