Flashing bootloader on nRF52840 with BP6

well… firmware is october 2024 or something, got the latest from the forum but the partition won’t mount (just stuck waiting…)

also, dmesg reports

after maybe 5 minutes it finally, mounted, but read-only :-/

also I find it strange that fdisk reports

/dev/sdg1                63 47823    47761  93.3M  4 FAT16 <32M

a partition type of FAT16 <32M for a size of 93.3M seems odd
