Programming External Device wilth Peripheral UART (nRF Connect SDK)

user116770

I am programming an external device with the same code loaded onto the nRF5 DK. The sample works on the DK, It broadcasts and I can connect. However, when I program an external device, the programming (via jtag P20) seemingly is successful, however, the device does not appear to broadcast. Am I missing something here? Can you think of any reason this might not be working as expected? (FYI, the external nRF52832 device is the onboard BL652). 

Thanks.

    Hi, thanks for getting back so quickly. Yeah, okay... i think you're right about the extern crystal. But,  DCDC components? Not sure what this is, having a look.

    Hi, upon further inspection I can see that the DVK-BL652 does have an external crystal. As for the settings you have mentioned, I have looked at the kconfig - and they already seem to be setup correctly for the corresponding board.

    I am struggling to find out what the CONFIG_BOARD_ENABLE_DCDC option is doing. Could you please explain?

    That being said, I have tried turning off the DCDC mode board option (thereby modifying 'peripheral_uart\BL652_DVK\zephyr\.config'). The result remains unchanged. 

    I should add: when inspecting SIO_17 & SIO_18, I would expect to see the flashing of LEDS as on the nRF52DK (P0.17 & P0.18). As I am not seeing this, it would infer that the device is not running the program. Would you agree?
