Filename Function Checking
erase.act
Erases the flash of the connected module (if
QSPI/SPI flash is connected to target device
and option is enabled in firmware, this also
erases the flash memory contents of said
flash chip)
page_off.act
Performs a full-chip erase before
programming a file via drag and drop
programming to the connected module (non-
persistent configuration option
– reverts to
persistent configuration when power of
programmer is cycled. See non-volatile
configuration options for details)
After USB mass storage device refresh, open
DETAILS.TXT, check the
Page erasing line (should be 0
for active)
page_on.act
Performs sector erases before programming
a file via drag and drop programming to the
connected module (non-persistent
configuration option
– reverts to persistent
configuration when power of programmer is
cycled. See non-volatile configuration
options for details)
After USB mass storage device refresh, open
DETAILS.TXT, check the
Page erasing line (should be 1
for active)
device.act
Queries information from the connected
device and puts this information into the
LASTDEV.TXT file
Open LASTDEV.TXT after USB drive refreshes. It is
populated with information from the attached module.
Note: If readback protection is enabled then this
information cannot be retrieved.
Table 2 displays the supported configuration options (non-volatile, these are persistent even when the USB-SWD programmer
is powered off) for the USB-SWD programmer:

Filename Function Checking
nrfauto.cfg
Sets drop-and-drag programming mode to automatic
nRF51/nRF52 detection
After USB mass storage device refresh,
open DETAILS.TXT, check the Device line
(should state automatic detection)
nrf51.cfg
Sets drop-and-drag programming mode to nRF51 device
mode (BL600/BL620/RM1xx)
After USB mass storage device refresh,
open DETAILS.TXT, check the Device line
(should state nRF51)
nrf52.cfg
Sets drop-and-drag programming mode to nRF52 device
mode (BL65x/BT510/Pinnacle 100/MG100)
After USB mass storage device refresh,
open DETAILS.TXT, check the Device line
(should state nRF52)
flow_off.cfg
Disables hardware flow control on the USB-SWD UART
interface
Note: Hardware flow control cannot be enabled on the
USB serial port as the CDC driver does not
support flow control, and so is always disabled.
After USB mass storage device refresh,
open DETAILS.TXT, check the UART HW
Flow option (should be 0)
