I’ve been trying to upload the arduino-ble-led example from the Platformio platform-nordicnrf51 to my nrf51-DK. I’m getting the following error:

========================== [ERROR] Took 3.86 seconds ==========================
I’ve looked around to see if I can make sense of the errors myself but can’t figure it out. Do I need to configure something with openOCD? I noticed the line about “set WORKAREASIZE 0”, but I don’t know where I would do that. If someone could point me in the right direction for that, that would be great. Or maybe I’m missing some build-flags?
Having come across some clues here, in the exchange between ivankravets and fabltd, I modified the file at ~/.platformio/packages/tool-openocd/scripts/target/nrf51.cfg. I replaced line 24 with “set WORKAREASIZE 0”. Upload works now, just a bit slow, but I can live with that.
