Flash the nrf52811 VScode

[Fredrik Sannerhaugen]

Hello! 

Sorry for asking, im fairly new to SoC on custom boards.

I have now created a custom PCB using the nRF52811 and i want to flash it with an example. ble peripheral example. Im using the nRF Connect together with Visual Studio Code. Im trying to understand the documentation, but i cant find the preprosessor settings, neither the things i need to change according to the documentation. How can i flash my card with this example? is it even possible? I Would be very happy if someone could help me with it. The SoC is connected to the PC so i got that part right. I think what im looking for is in some sort of config file.

im using the nRF 52840 DK for flashing the custom SoC.

Hi Fredrik

What sample project are you trying to flash onto your nRF52811 board? Have you checked out our nRF Connect for VS Code video tutorial series on YouTube? They should give you a good idea on how to get started and how to build and flash projects onto your boards. 

When you create a project and build configuration in nRF Connect for VS code, you should get to choose the board you want to build the project for, here you will need an nRF52811 board file to make sure the pin configurations etc. are correct.

In order to flash a custom board, you will need a debugger (like the nRF52840 DK) and connect it either with the 10 pin debugger header or with the SWDIO pins as explained in the picture below.

Best regards,

Simon
