Command line program nRF5340 error

[wangben85]

Hi  Nordic Tech Support,

      Our company is evaluating nRF5340 for future project. I have brought one nRF5340 DK, and I am following the online guide to build and program the DK board.

https://developer.nordicsemi.com/nRF_Connect_SDK/doc/1.5.0/nrf/ug_nrf5340.html

     'Programming the network sample from SES' works well on my side.

     'Programming from the command line' does not work. I always get error when I try to to flash the network core no matter I use the 'west' command or 'nrfjprog' directly. Could you support that?

Looks like the snapshot does not show correctly. Below is the error pop up

Hi,

Did you install the toolchain manually or through the Toolchain Manager?

Are you using the most recent version of the nRF Command Line Tools?

[wangben85]

Thanks. I have found the root cause. The nrfjprog tool I used is not the latest one.
