Hi All,
I'm hoping some of you can help me out, I've trawled the internet for the past week and the 1700 posts in the NRF Action thread. I've managed to at least get my NRF to program (I think), but when I load sketches on I don't get any action.
The setup:
Ok, first thing I was unable to do was burn the bootloader or upload any sketches like the erase_all example. I ended up using Nordic's nrfjprog to unlock the chip via $ nrfjprog -f NRF52 --recover, but this requires the use of a JLink debugger with the JLink driver (not WinUSB).
After doing that, success... have been able to upload sketches, and on @NeverDie 's board, the LED lights up. If I wipe the NRF again, LED is off.
My test sketch is the Blink_Serial_Demo_v001 which was posted with the board schematics. It needed some modification, but it compiles and I believe is faithful to the pinouts for the breakout board.
/*
* This example sketch shows how you can manage the nRF5 pin mapping as part of your code.
* You can use the method for any nRF51822 or nRF52832 board or module.
*
* Most components, like UART, SPI, Wire Bus, of the nRF5 series chips don't
* have a fixed pin mapping. There are some pins with restrictions like analog
* inputs, NFC or pins near the radio module. Please refer the latest
* documentation about pin restrictions at http://infocenter.nordicsemi.com
*
* To use the custom pin mapping you have to do following steps:
*
* 1. Install "arduino-nrf5" like described at
* https://github.com/sandeepmistry/arduino-nRF5/
* 2. Install the "My Sensors nRF5 Boards" with the board manager like
* explained at https://github.com/mysensors/ArduinoBoards
* 3. Copy the files "MyNRF5Board.cpp" and "MyNRF5Board.h" from
* "MyNRF5Board" example into your sketch.
* 4. Modify pin mappings in "MyNRF5Board.cpp" and "MyNRF5Board.h" to fit
* your requirements.
* 5. Select "MyNRF5Board nrf52832" or "MyNRF5Board nrf52822" as your board.
* Choose the correct parameters and programmer in the Tools menu.

If you don't use an nRF5 board, you can ignore this file.
This file was part of the "My Sensors nRF5 Boards" board repository
available at https://github.com/mysensors/ArduinoBoards If you have
questions, please refer the documentation at
https://github.com/mysensors/ArduinoHwNRF5 first.
This file is compatible with ArduinoHwNRF5 >= 0.2.0
This file allows you to change the pins of internal hardware, like the
serial port, SPI bus or Wire bus.
All pins referenced here are mapped via the "g_ADigitalPinMap" Array
defined in "MyBoardNRF5.cpp" to pins of the MCU.
As an example, if you have at the third position in "g_ADigitalPinMap" the
12, then all ports referenced in Arduino with 2 are mapped to P0.12. If you
don't change the "g_ADigitalPinMap" Array, the Arduino pins 0..31 are
translated to P0.00..P0..31.

When uploading the sketch, I get the following messages - I assume this is in some way working, as with this sketch loaded I get a permanently on LED. When the board is erased, the LED is off.

Unfortunately from this point, I have a board with an LED that should be flashing, but isn't and when connecting a FTDI to the board there's no serial output either. It seems to be 'hung'.
I can only assume I've got something wrong somewhere, but after staring at it for a week now I'm so desperate for clues I'm swallowing my pride and asking for help.
