Master Control Panel crashing on Win7 VM, using nrf51 dk

Martin K

Hello, I am using a Windows 7 VM (VirtualBox). I can flash my NRF51 DK using nRF Go Studio just fine.

When I open the Master Control Panel (3.10.0.14), I can see the device being connected, an update prompt pops up (which always fails - the same prompt pops up in the nRF Go Studio, where it also fails). After I decline the update prompt, the Master Control Panel just crashes.

The P0.30 pin is connected to GND. Without it, the Master Control Panel doesn't recognize the DK.

I tried following an update guide by copying the firmware bin via usb. But it seems like there is a newer version, which I can't find on the website (The newer version is dated on Aug 28, the version I have is Jun 16 - same as on the website). Is this the issue? Where can I get the latest firmware version?

    Hi,

    What happens here is that the firmware on your nRF51-DK debugger is older than the current Segger installation in Windows. If you install the latest version of Segger in your HOST OS then do a FW update from there (or downgrade the segger installation in your guest os), then this pop-up should not appear.

    However; there are several threads on devzone with problems debugging and running certain applications in a virtual machine. Running software that depends on hardware being passed through the host os in a virtual machine can be problematic in general.

    Best regards, Håkon

    Thanks for the reply. I was able to update the firmware using a Windows machine (not a VM) without any issues. Sadly even after the update it's not working correctly using a VM. Are there any plans for an OS X version?
