https://devzone.nordicsemi.com/f/nordic-q-a/83977/nrf-connect-unable-to-program-dongle-pca10059Goodday, For some reason my nrf Connect Programmer stopped working after doing the latest updates. To test I took a brand new dongle, Programmer picks it up but does not want to load the default PCA10059 hex file. Only the write function shows upen-USTelligent Community 13Mon, 24 Jan 2022 13:28:14 GMThttps://devzone.nordicsemi.com/thread/349275?ContentTypeID=1Mon, 24 Jan 2022 13:28:14 GMT137ad170-7792-4731-bb38-c0d22fbe4515:5275acaa-c28c-49d1-9e95-4c560569d20cmelt<p>Thanks Einar</p> <p></p> <p>Let me try a soft device.&nbsp;</p><div style="clear:both;"></div>https://devzone.nordicsemi.com/thread/349247?ContentTypeID=1Mon, 24 Jan 2022 12:40:18 GMT137ad170-7792-4731-bb38-c0d22fbe4515:e5e489b1-aacb-43e0-bdc3-3b9ec06a5c13Einar Thorsrud<p>Hi,</p> <p>It looks like you are trying to program a bootloader? This will not work, and should not work with any version. This is because the bootloader that the dongle ships with prevents any upgrades from overwriting the bootloader or MBR unless they are properly signed with a key only Nordic has. If you program a SoftDevice or application (or anything else not overlapping with the existing bootloader or MBR), it should work as expected.</p><div style="clear:both;"></div>
