Serial Wire Debug #

  • the usb dongle is referred to as PCA10059 which in projects usually shifts the app to offset 0x1000 as openbootloader usage is expected
  • With serial wire debug, it’s possible to flash applications at same address as the PCA10056 which is at address 0x0000
  • recovering the openbootloader mode would then require to reflash the MBR with any nRF SDK project make flash_mbr
