Debug with nrf9160

[DirkH]

Can one actually debug with an nrf9160DK?  Or is it printf debugging with a terminal or RTT?  In VS Code, I can get my nrf9160DK to show up as a Connected Device.

Thanks

Hello Dirk,

Can one actually debug with an nrf9160DK?

Sure, just like all the other DKs.

In VS Code, I can get my nrf9160DK to show up as a Connected Device.

I assume you mean you can not? If so, that is odd. Are you powering it from J6? Is switch SW10 set to 91? Is it turned on? Could you try changing the cable and USB port on your computer and see if that helps?

Regards,

Elfving

Yes - can not.

Attached are some images - VS Code (no device connected) & device manager.  The DK maps as 3 CDC COM ports, a J-Link device and a Thumb drive, so I am sure my cable is working.

Thanks

I see. What version of the DK do you have? There should be a sticker on the DK with some numbers, like 1.0.0, 2021.11.

And what do you get when running "nrfjprog -i" in a terminal with the DK connected?

Regards,

Elfving

Dirk - If you need a new DK let me know as I have some here in Atlanta that I can bring over to you.

The sticker on the board is PCA10090 1.1.0 2023.11 960013264

I purchased this DK form Digi-Key last week.

I get an Error when I try to send the nrfjprog -i

I have an older DK from a few years ago:

PCA10090 1.0.0 2020.50 960085721

but is doesn't connect in VS Code either.
