Fanstel BT832X evaluation board with softdevice does not run

[Draco]

I have a Fanstel BT832X evaluation board (model EV-BT840(832)-V4). Nordic examples without softdevice are working fine. Examples with softdevice are not working. I have checked my evaluation board and made sure the SW5 switch is ON (32kHz clock is enabled). I even tried changing the `sdk_config.h` to use internal RC, but both are not working. I tried changing the clock PPM to 250, 500, none are working.

I programmed the softdevice first by running `make flash_softdevice`, then programmed the application by running `make flash`.

What I am doing wrong? Any help would be appreciated.

I dumped the full image from my working board and flashed it into the "broken" board and now the "broken" board is working just fine. Obviously `make flash_softdevice` and `make flash` commands do not program a section of flash that's needed to boot the softdevice.

What am I missing?
