nrfjprog supported SWD devices

[amartino]

I'm trying to flash the nrf52832 with a SWD debugger called Atmel Ice. As a reference, I have the Laird BL652 dev board.

I was planning on flasihg the nrf52832 by using the nrfjprog on Linux.

It seems that the Atmel Ice isn't recognized by nrfjprog.

Laird dev board (lists the device):

~$ nrfjprog -i
483019938

Atmel Ice (doesn't list the device):

~$ nrfjprog -i

Does this imply that only Seggers J-link debuggers can be used for flashing the nrf52832?

Hi,

As described in the documentation of nrfjprog, it has been developed and tested for SEGGER software, JLink_V512g. We officially support SEGGER programmers/debuggers, but in theory other SWD compatible debuggers could be usable. Other debuggers are not supported by nrfjprog, so you will have to use some other tool, if you want to use another debugger. I also doubt that Atmel support nRF devices on their debugger.

Best regards.

You may try to use atprogram which comes with Atmel Studio link text

The Atmel ice may be used if OpenOCD supports it. Otherwise, the IDAP-Link is an alternative. It comes with commandline tool equivalent to the nrfjprog. The tool also support parallel flashing of multiple boards at once.
