When you select a board, nRFgo Studio identifies the nRF chip and how its memory is organized.
| Chip and memory information | Description |
|---|---|
| nRF chip identification |
Identifies the chip by name and code variant (for example, nRF51822 QFAAA0). If the debugger is not connected to the chip, or the debugger has a problem communicating with the chip, it will show the following message “No device detected. Ensure that you have the SEGGER connected correctly to the board and that the board is powered and configured for debugging.” |
| Code memory | Shows how the code memory is organized in one or two regions (Region 0 and 1) and the size of each region. For devices containing a SoftDevice, the code memory is divided in two regions, with the SoftDevice in Region 0. The tool shows you how much memory is used by the SoftDevice and how much is left for the application. |
| Memory readback protection |
Shows how readback protection is set. The two possible options are readback protection on Region 0 or readback protection of the whole code memory. If there is only one region the option is readback protection on (All) or off. |
| SoftDevice identification | nRFgo Studio tries to identify the firmware located in the chip at Region 0. For the firmware that it recognizes it displays the ID (in clear text) for the unrecognized firmware it displays the FWID number. |
