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?

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
