NRF51822 programming with uVision and ST-link

Sensors

I'm trying to connect to/program my nrf51822 module I just got. I've got it set up with my st-link but whenever I try to flash the device I keep getting: Error: Flash Download failed - "Cortex-M0"

In nRFgo studio the 'nrf51 programming' section in the device manager window is disabled, so I can't even try to wipe the device from there. (edit: I realise now I can't use this with the st-link)

Any idea how I can connect to this device?

EDIT: I can do a full chip erase in uVision before the programming. It seems to complete that successfully, but then says "Programming failed!", followed by the 'Flash download failed' error as before.

    nRFGo only supports J-Link nothing else. Search for ST-Link on this forum there are a few threads about it. An other alternative is to use the IDAP-Link here.

    I can do a full chip erase in uVision before the programming. It seems to complete that successfully, but then says "Programming failed!", followed by the 'Flash download failed' error as before.

    EDIT: Okay, got it working! For anyone else that experiences this problem... All it seems I had to do was update my programming algorithm in the debugger menu. Seemed to do the trick when I switched it to "nrf51xxx External Connectivity Board". I changed to that, set it up to do a full chip erase, managed to program it a few times.

    I then switched back to the original programming algorithm and put the other settings back the way I had them before too, seems to still be working.
