https://devzone.nordicsemi.com/f/nordic-q-a/72879/ate-flash-doesn-t-appear-to-be-committing-auto-patch-data-nrf52Hi there, I&#39;m new to using an ATE and a NRF52 and I&#39;m trying to use an ATE array with telnet commands to program firmware on 10 devices. After the firmware is applied, our goal is to program a couple of memory addresses with serialized data.
