Creative for sure. Following the link for the uf2 bootloader recovery, I used the J-link lite software (there may be a few versions of the software on the system). While the instructions are not exact, select the SWD interface, choose the nrf52 device called: nRF52840_xxAA
and default speed of 4000kHz.
This worked. Recovered. Thank you.
I will work out the default board/project for zephyros so that I can share this once it is figured out.
BTW I am using the Xiao Expansion board and not another NRF52DK to flash. We had to make a few hops to get from the jlink to this board.
