Flashing using Eclipse

[Tielman]

Hi

I have setup and configured Eclipse using the tutorial and all seems to be good, except, I cant flash the binary to the chip. Here is my error when calling flash:

• Flashing: _build/nrf52840_xxaa.hex
• nrfjprog --program _build/nrf52840_xxaa.hex -f nrf52 --sectorerase
• ERROR: Invalid argument provided: -f.
• Makefile:234: recipe for target 'flash' failed

I'm using the following

• IC: nRF52840
• Softdevice: S140 SDK: nRF5_SDK_13.0.0_04a0bfd
• Example as base: ble_app_hrs_c
• IDE: Eclipse + GCC

Please help

Thanks

Do you have version 9.5.0 of nrfjprog? In nrfjprog 9.5.0, automatic detection of the device's family has been added, for automatic detection, the family name "UNKNOWN" should be used:

nrfjprog --program _build/nrf52840_xxaa.hex  --sectorerase -f UNKNOWN

Could you check if that works?

Hi Kristin

I installed the latest command line tools 9.5.0, by when typing nrfjprog --version, it returns with 5.1.4.44725

I made the change you suggested, but still get the error ERROR: Invalid argument provided: -f

Do you use Window, OSX ,or Linux?

For what its worth, I changed the -f UNKNOWN to --family UNKNOWN (I just thought what the heck), it then continues on to give the same error for --sectorerase: ERROR: Invalid argument provided: --sectorerase

As a matter of fact, simply changing nrfjprog --program $< -f UNKNOWN --sectorerase to nrfjprog --program $< --sectorerase -f UNKNOWN in the makefile, throws the same error from -f to --sectorerase:

nrfjprog --program _build/nrf52840_xxaa.hex --sectorerase -f UNKNOWN 

ERROR: Invalid argument provided: --sectorerase.
