nrfjprog --qspieraseall

nrfjprog --family NRF53 --program zephyr.hex --qspichiperase --verify

nrfjprog --family NRF53 --coprocessor CP_APPLICATION --program zephyr.hex --qspisectorerase --verify

The above command works for me now, I am not sure why it was not working previously, I had change nothing in my system.

Thanks,

Kaushik

Hi,

You could try the following command

nrfjprog --family NRF53 --program zephyr.hex --qspichiperase --chiperase --verify

test-devzone.nordicsemi.com/.../4604.QspiDefault.ini

test-devzone.nordicsemi.com/.../extFlash.hex

For your clarification, I had re-run the command and here are the attached result. also attached the extFlash.hex file and my QspiDefault.ini file for reference, My hardware is nRF5340 DK board and External Flash was MX25R6435FZNI - Macronix.

Hi,

In one of your previous posts, it can be seen that you ran "nrfjprog --eraseall" instead of "nrfjprog --qspieraseall" from the command line.

Yes, I tried for external flash programming case.
Do we need to modify QspiDefault.ini file for set external flash configuration?

Hi Kaushik,

Have you tried using "nrfjprog --qspieraseall" instead of "nrfjprog --eraseall" as first command?

Hello,

I had used this(nrf-command-line-tools-10.15.4-x64) nRF Command Line Tools for installation.

Version of nrfjprog is as per below snip

Hi Kaushik,

Could you please provide information about the versions of nrfjprog and nRF Command Line Tools that yo use?

Hey Dejan,

I had also tried the below screenshot command, For internal flash command seems working when I will change address to external flash(XIP region address) then it will give us error.

Can you please tell me weather it is possible to program external flash using this nRF command line tools if yes then kindly provide me some command by that I can check erase/program/verify of external flash.

Thanks,

Hello Dejan,

After change erase command things works for me to program internal flash, But as mention above, My end goal is to check the solution for external flash production programming point of view.

Can you please guide me how we can program external flash by nrfjprog command line tools?

Thanks & Regards,

Hi Kaushik,

Similar to what you have done initially, could you try again last two commands that I suggested, but split each command into two new ones (where you would use --verify in the second command). What are the results?

Which version of nrfjprog and JLink do you use? You can check this using "nrfjprog --version".

Which version of nRF Command Line Tools do you use?

Best regards,
Dejan

Hi,

Command qspieraseall can be used for erasing external flash.

nrfjprog --qspieraseall

Afterwards, you can proceed to programming the application. When programming, you could try adding --verify to the first line, like this

nrfjprog --family NRF53 --program zephyr.hex --qspichiperase --verify

After you erased external flash, you could also specify the core you want to use when programming

nrfjprog --family NRF53 --coprocessor CP_APPLICATION --program zephyr.hex --qspisectorerase --verify

Please let me know the results of the above-mentioned approaches.

Best regards,
Dejan
