Getting started : Keil : JLink Cortex Error - cannot load Flash device description

Hello- I'm trying to load the Blinky example, I am using the nRF51822 Evaluation board. I am able to compile but cannot load the board, a window with "Cannot Load Flash device Description!" comes followed by "Error:Flash download failed - Cortex M0" I found the following thread with my exact error and did as described. devzone.nordicsemi.com/.../

I do not have the flash configuration algorithm for the nRF51822, but reinstalling, restarting, reinstalling the nrf51_sdk_v6_1_0_b2ec2e6 SDK does not fix my problem.

I do not have a c:\Nordic Semiconductor directory. I am running Windows 8.1, and Keil uVision5.

Any ideas?

  • Everything is happily blinking now. This is what I did:

    1. uninstalled everything , Keil, nRF51 SDK, J-Link
    2. reinstalled everything
    3. when reinstalling the nRF51 SDK, I checked install to custom location to that I would get a c:\Nordic Semiconductor directory like in the link with the same problem above
    4. Now I had the c: Nordic..directory, I could delete it, uninstall, reinstall as in the same problem above All is well.
