Can't get OpenOCD to work with my ST Link V2 please advise

I’m trying to program a: http://aconno.de/wp-content/uploads/201 … -Sheet.pdf

using this arduino core: https://github.com/sandeepmistry/arduino-nRF5

for this I got a genuine st-link v2: http://uk.rs-online.com/web/p/entwicklu … r/7141701/

with this driver from the OEM website: en.stsw-link009.zip

Unfortunately it does not work, the device is listed in the windows device manger but when i try to upload a sketch or the soft device it fails to connect:

Sketch uses 2,520 bytes (0%) of program storage space. Maximum is 409,600 bytes.

debug_level: 0

adapter speed: 10000 kHz
Error: open failed
in procedure 'program' 
in procedure 'init' called at file "embedded:startup.tcl", line 473
in procedure 'ocd_bouncer'
** OpenOCD init failed **
shutdown command invoked

the selected serial port 
 does not exist or your board is not connected

the programmer does not blink the led just stays red, so there must be come communication issue…

Any ideas what I could be doing wrong?
