NRF52840 DK log file

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.

we bought NRF52840 to test other boards, firstly a problem happened, when change a new NRF52840 the testing could pass, so we doubt the firmware inside it was lost, how could we solve this problem?

  • Hi Pan, 

    Are you using nRF52840 DK? 

    Please make sure the power supply is 3.3v. You can check by the J-Link Commander to see the detected VTref. 

    Please upload the file named log.log under C:\Users\Administrator. Thanks.
