conflicting Nordic Dk with Texas programmer ?

Our product consists of a Texas MSP430 and a Nordic nRF52832 Chip, with serial/UART between

for MSP programming, debug and development : I'm using the official TI MSP-FET Flash Emulation Tool (USB device)
for Nordic : I have a nRF52DK-52832 (PCA10040), several 52840 dongles (PCA10059) and the final hardware with 52832

When the Texas MSP is connected via USB most of the Nordic stuff is not properly working:
- It seems I can download code with Segger Studio into the PCA10040, but it crashes right after start
- I wonder why nRF Conenct for desktop lists the Texas MSP programmer as valid device
- I cannot use the 52840 dongle for Bluetooth with nrf connect for desktop, is just brings an error=-1

The MSP programmer works without problems, it can download code and debug - and when I pull it off my computer USB, all the Nordic things work again. Just plug it in - no need to start any session with Texas' code composer - Nordic tools are not working right.

Anyone experiencing a similar issue ? This is most annoying since I need to develop and work with both controllers

thanks for any advice, Matthias

  • Hi,

    I have a CC Debugger now, did some testing and it does not seem to show up in any of our nRF Connect for desktop apps, and building flashing and debugging in SES seems to work with no issues. 

    I do have the latest nRF for desktop apps(v3.11.1) so maybe there was a issue with the previous versions? 

    Currently I have not been able to see the issue with a CC Debugger at least. 

    Regards,
    Jonathan
