I also had the same behaviour with this board and the bcm2835spi driver. It worked for a day and a half (continuously connected) and after I power resetted it it stopped working. I'm getting the same error as @cjmakes . The firmware I flashed on the chip as when it worked the last time is still working so I don't think the chip itself is broken. But I think it could have to do something with the nRF52832. If anyone here has a solution I'd really like to know it.
I thought a bit more about the circumstances when the issue happened first. And if I remember correctly I had a small electrostatic discharge shortly before the problem arose. I didn't think much about it because the firmware continued working as intended. Did anyone of you had something similar happen? I think it would be unusual for a discharge to result in such a specific problem (I would have expected the device to be just broken and not turning on again). But I just want to make sure this wasn't the reason.
