I would like to flash an nRF52810 board by using OpenOCD running on an Raspberry Pi 1 B Rev2.
I built and installed OpenOCD on my Pi like so:
git clone https://git.code.sf.net/p/openocd/code openocd-code
cd openocd-code
./bootstrap
./configure --enable-sysfsgpio --enable-bcm2835gpio
make
sudo make install
Between checking out and building I’ve modified nrf5.c to include this line:
NRF5_DEVICE_DEF(0x0139, “52832”, “QFAA”, “E0”, 512),
I’ve connected these nRF52810 Pins to those Pi Pins:
SWDIO <-> GPIO24
SWDCLK <-> GPIO25
P021=RST <-> GPIO18
I’m using this openocd.cfg file:
source [find interface/raspberrypi-native.cfg]
bcm2835gpio_speed_coeffs 113714 28
bcm2835gpio_swd_nums 25 24
bcm2835gpio_srst_num 18
reset_config srst_only srst_push_pull
transport select swd
set WORKAREASIZE 0
set CHIPNAME nrf52810
source [find target/nrf51.cfg]
reset_config srst_only srst_nogate
adapter_nsrst_delay 100
adapter_nsrst_assert_width 100
init
targets
halt
nrf5 mass_erase
flash write_image feather52_bootloader_v050_s132_v201.hex 0
reset halt
targets
verify_image feather52_bootloader_v050_s132_v201.hex 0
reset run
targets
exit
And I’m getting this output:

Can you help me?
On the [nordicsemi forum an engineer told me OpenOCD only supports the nRF52832 chip and not the nRF52810 and I need to use an SEGGER debugger instead. But I figured those two chips are almost the same and adding support shouldn’t involve too much of a hassle. Can you tell me what needs to be done? On the same forum there is a post that reads like other people have already figured it out: https://devzone.nordicsemi.com/f/nordic … spberry-pi](OpenOCD nRF52810: Can't erase or flash - Unknown device HWID 0x00000142 - Nordic Q&A - Nordic DevZone - Nordic DevZone)
