Hi Kristof,
I would highly appreciate if you register to our gerrit at
http://openocd.zylin.com
and start using it instead of spamming the openocd-dev mailing list.
Some time ago you wrote:
Please let me know when you've finished the patch.
If you were in gerrit, I would add you as a reviewer of
http://openocd.zylin.com/5522
As I didn't find your mail in the gerrit users list I relied on you notice
the gerrit message about new patch. Unfortunately it seems you didn't.
Moreover the error message looks like you are still using an old openocd
version (compiled from git master before December 12th, when
http://openocd.zylin.com/5348 was merged) instead that one you've recently
compiled.
BTW: If you use gdb, why don't you use gdb 'load' command?
It's quite simple, as gdb 'load' re-reads image (if changed) then does
both flash erase and programming.
I personally prefer using two gdb commands 'make' and 'load' over using
any super-sophisticated IDE ;-)

Hi,
OpenOCD fails to flash my nRF52 microcontroller. Below is some more
explanations.
*The board*
*=======*
I've got an *nRF52* microcontroller from Nordic Semiconductor. More in
particular
the *nRF52833* mcu on the *PCA10100* board. See:
https://www.nordicsemi.com/Software-and-tools/Development-Kits/nRF52833-DK
*The OpenOCD version*
*===============*
This morning, I built OpenOCD with the xPacks method. It builds the
most recent
version of the master repo, which is dev01138 at the moment of writing.
*Flashing*
*======*
I succeeded to flash about two or three times this morning.
Unfortunately, now
I constantly get an error related to "protected sectors" that cannot
be erased:
(gdb) monitor nrf5 mass_erase
Flash protection of this nRF device is not supported
Failed to check chip's write protection
(gdb) monitor flash erase_check 0
successfully checked erase state
Bank is erased
(gdb) monitor program "C:/Users/Kristof/nordic_test/build/myApp.elf"
target halted due to debug-request, current mode: Thread
xPSR: 0x01000000 pc: 0xfffffffe msp: 0xfffffffc
** Programming Started **
Adding extra erase range, 0x0000387c .. 0x00003fff
Cannot erase protected sector at 0x0
failed erasing sectors 0 to 3
embedded:startup.tcl:460: Error: ** Programming Failed **
in procedure 'program'
in procedure 'program_error' called at file "embedded:startup.tcl", line 525
at file "embedded:startup.tcl", line 460
Your help is greatly appreciated.
*Notes*
*====*
I'm doing all this to support the*nRF52* series in the free Embeetle
IDE. I hope
there is a solution to the problem that only involves OpenOCD - such
that we don't
need to add proprietary softwares (like JLink, ...) to Embeetle IDE.
Kind regards,
Kristof Mulier
