I can see that there are others that have had problems with finding SIMPLE information from this site....
I would like to get off on a better footing.
Here is the issue
1) Downloading and setting up the IDE (or IDEs as the case may be) is not logical nor is there any cohesive documentation on the procedure.
Seems that I have had to jump through many different documents and sites to find the procedures and then guess the order of operation between them
it has taken me 5 days just to get the "VS code" IDE to start and detect the nRF52833-DK.
2) What I need now is CLEAR and Concise instructions in using the IDK / Dev Tool to connect to an external target.
i have found the connection diagram for debug out P19 and P20. I am using P20 -
should SW6 be set to nRF only or DEFAULT
SW10 - correct setting I would like to power the external target from the DK - currently in Vext and 3.0 volts is on VDD-nRF on P19 - this is also shorted to VTG
3) I do see a connection in Visual Studio Code IDE with SW6 in DEFAULT mode
How can I tell the part type (nRF52833) is the target
If my external target is the nRF52840 - what do I need to do to validate I am correctly connected
4) I also downloaded the Seggar IDE but have no idea how to begin using
What compiler to use
how to get that compiler up and running
Seems to need purchasing a licence
I do not see any SIMPLE instructions on how to get the, as advertised, Free stuff running for your products.
Please note that I am basically a hardware design engineer with over 35 years experience in circuit design and PCB layout, Contract Manufacturing and regulatory experience. I am not an expert firmware developer but I am not a spring chicken either. I have to say that this product line is one of the most difficult to get started in that I have come across in a long time. NXP products come in a close second.
Thank you for your attention in this matter
