nRF Connect for Desktop Programmer V2.2.0 and Heart Rate Monitor Demo

[alwalker]

I have connected a nRF5340 DK board which the Programmer can connect to. I then drag the two .hex files for the Heart Rate Monitor demo over to the File Memory Layout window, however the following commands are still grayed out:

• Erase all
• Erase & write
• Save as file
• Reset
• Write
• Read

What am I missing please?

Thanks again Einar, I have launched the terminal monitor in nRF Connect SDK for VS Code, but am not seeing USB traffic, what connection and display options should I be using please?

 

[Einarh]

In the nRF Connect tab of VS Code you should find a "Connected devices" section.

There you can choose the COM port of your device, and VS Code will display the serial traffic under "nRF Terminal"

[alwalker]

There's definitely something not right!

The terminal window continuously scrolls with the same block:

Oh, that doesn't look good

Could you try to compile and flash the Heart Rate Monitor Demo in VS Code, and see if you still get these errors?

-Einar

[alwalker]

Hi Einar,

Thank you for your reply, I can't find the source code files for the Heart Rate Monitor online, just a link for the folder with the two .hex files

                                      Peripheral_Heart_Rate_nRF5340_DK.zip                                     

Do you have a URL for the application project please?
