Thanks for the clarification.

I can see the same problem here, I have reported it internally. For now you need to use nRF Connect Programmer and/or build and flash using "west" in command line.

Hope that helps,

Hello, maybe I didn´t explain myself correctly, but I am trying to flash a custom board with the NRF52805 IC on it.

I am having problems running the "hello world" example on it because of that "Failed to write memory" error.

I think that happens because the nRF52-DK board is selected in the SEGGER project and therefore it is trying to flash it as if the MCU was the nRF2832 of a DK.

My best guess is that I probably need a new board definition for working with the NON-emulated IC, but I have been looking around and I don´t see any guide on how to do it with the new NCS.

Hope my problem is clearer now.

Thank you

[quote user=""]Therefore, I think that SEGGER studio is trying to upload the code to an NRF52840 (which emulates the NRF52805 in the DK).[/quote]

It's not possible to emulate the nRF52805 with the nRF52840 (nRF52840-DK), you need to use an nRF52832 (nRF52-DK) for that. This could potentially be the reason for your problems.

If that does not explain your problems, then I think I need a description or picture of your hardware setup and wiring between boards.
