Flashing NRF52 with slstk2010a

1. Requirements

1.1 Hardware

slstk2010a : EFM8 Sleepy Bee (STK)

STK/WSTK Debug Adapter

10-pin JTag Wires

1.2 Software

Simplicity Studio 5

J-link Softare

2. Putting the STK in Debug Out Mode

In Simplicity Studio 5 go to : Debug Adapters and select your STK (J-Link Silicon Labs (44….)). In Adapter Configuration, select Debug Mode : OUT.

3. Flashing the NRF52

Plug The Debug Adapter on the STK and plug the 10-pin JTAG Cable on the Cortex Connector of the Debug Adapter :

The other end of the 10-pin JTAG Cable goes to the Flipper JTAG Connector (Rose Wire is in on the Side of the white dote)

Then : Open J-Link Commander V..

Type following commands in that order :

connect
