Bringup

How to get the board from being assembled to being functional, using Windows, WSL and a ST-Link

Requirements on Windows

Working WSL2
ST-Link, with installed drivers (I used a ST-Link V2-1, borrowed from a Nucleo Board)
Install usbipd-win on windows: run winget install --interactive --exact dorssel.usbipd-win in a windows terminal
Install required packages in wsl: sudo apt install build-essential
Install rust: https://rustup.rs/
Install probe-rs: https://probe.rs/
Install OpenOCD in WSL: sudo apt install openocd in wsl
Download the SoftDevice for the chip from NRF (I used s113_nrf52_7.3.0_softdevice.hex)

Connect the ST-Link
Follow these instructions to get the ST-Link connected to WSL: https://learn.microsoft.com/de-de/windows/wsl/connect-usb
usbipd list
usbipd bind --busid <busid>
usbipd attach --wsl --busid <busid>
Connect the board to the ST-Link correctly
Power the board
Run openocd -f /usr/share/openocd/scripts/interface/stlink.cfg -f /usr/share/openocd/scripts/target/nrf52.cfg
In a seperate terminal run telnet localhost 4444
Use targets you can check that you can see the nrf52 target
Run init, halt, nrf5 mass_erase, program /full/path/.../s113_nrf52_7.3.0_softdevice.hex verify
Run exitin telnet shell
Exit OpenOCD with CTRL+C
Build and flash the code with cargo run --bin proto1_0 --release
Done! Further flashing etc. should not require reflashing the SoftDevice

If you just want to flash the softdevice in one command you can do it like this: openocd -f /usr/share/openocd/scripts/interface/stlink.cfg -f /usr/share/openocd/scripts/target/nrf52.cfg -c "init; halt; nrf5 mass_erase; program /full/path/.../s113_nrf52_7.3.0_softdevice.hex preverify verify; shutdown"
