[NRF5] Impossible to debug or flash the examples with IAR

[pan-]

• Description: It is not possible to flash or debug an application with IAR on the Nordic target. This issue is caused by a bad interaction between CMSIS-DAP IF present on the Nordic boards and IAR CMSIS-DAP debug driver.
• Workaround: The best solution is to switch to the JLINK IF image and configure the IAR project to use it.
  • Download the JLink IF and install it on the board.
  • Open the exported project in IAR then go to its options.
  • Go to the debugger section
    • In the setup tab choose J-link/J-trace as the debug driver.
    • In the Download tab disable the Use flash loader(s) option.
    • In the Extra options tabs, tick the Use command line options and add the following content: --drv_vector_table_base=0x0.

One question - what's the IAR version for this known issue ? Is this still valid for latest IAR stable version - 7.8 ?

yes, it is still valid for the latest stable version of IAR.
The issue lie in the CMSIS DAP IF used on Nordic boards.

Is this valid for the UBLOX EVK-NINA-B1? It does not use the CMSIS-DAP, but uses a built in J-Link debugger. Though it uses the same nRF52832 Nordic core. I am also noticing issues in debug mode with IAR.
