nrfjprog failed to erase nRF52832 device

[snowuyl]

I would like to use nrfjprog to erase nRF52832 device. But it failed with "An unknown error". The nRF52832 device connect to laptop through J-Link USB interface.

D:\Nordic>nrfjprog --log --family nRF52 --eraseall

How do you get the RTT log in your other case?

RTT can connect to nRF52832 device after running application code but can't connect to nRF52832 device when running bootloader code.

In that case, you said

"I can see RTT log messages if I use nRF5_SDK_16.0.0\examples\dfu\secure_bootloader\pca10040_s132_ble_debug."

What did you change this time?

I didn't chnage any thing. I just change using pca10040_s132_ble_debug instead pca10040_s132_ble. RTT can't connect to nRF52832 device occur when nRF52832 device is running bootloader code. But RTT can connect to nRF52832 device occur when nRF52832 device is running application code.

You would not get the RTT log if loading pca10040_s132_ble. Please make sure you are using pca10040_s132_ble_debug.

What image is running on the board?  Only the SD and pca10040_s132_ble_debug? Or SD+BL+APP?
