Drag and Drop Option for nRF52840

I have a nrF52840-DK and would like to try some precompiled test, but I got an error when copying a hex file to it. The error message is that The currently active SWD interface does not
support MSD drag and drop. With the same method I can copy files to nrF52832-DK. I would like to check whether nRF52840-DK supports the drag-and-drop feature. If not, is it possible to enable it, or what's the other way to easily use the hex file instead of build or compile the test? Thanks for your support in advance!

  • Hi Amanda,

    Thanks a lot for your detailed instruction! I followed your instruction and the programmer doesn't return error, but I didn't see the memory layout change as showed on your picture. Should I also see the file updated in the JLINK folder in file explorer? I didn't see any file added either.

    I selected only the blinky hex file. Do I need to select anything else like SoftDevice? I also attached log txt file. Any comment on how to debug?

  • Hi, 

    You use the image from Blinky Example which is the same as the factory image, so the memory layout is the same. 

    The images used in my example figure are the s140_nrf52_7.2.0_softdevice.hex from nRF5_SDK_17.1.0\components\softdevice\s140\hex and ble_app_blinky_pca10056_s140.hex generated from nRF5_SDK_17.1.0_ddde560\examples\ble_peripheral\ble_app_blinky\pca10056.
