Hi, while working with the nRF9160DK i get this Error a lot of times, I can't say "Yes" or something else and have to wait until the progress bar fills completely. Even if I disconnect the DK.
It really takes some time on a workday because this happens a lot. I hope there is a fix,
Greetings,
Philipp
Hi,
Do you have a more detailed log output from vscode?
Could you share the output from CTRL-SHIFT+P, "nRF connect: Generate support information" in Vscode?
Kind regards,
Håkon

Hi Philipp,
You might have already tried this, but I'll mention it anyway.
Have you tried using a different USB cable, and/or possibly a different USB port?
I know this is likely not the root cause, but it would be good to rule out a possibly bad usb cable.
Kind regards,
Håkon
Hi Håkon,
Yes, I tried other cables and ports. This also only happens with the 9160. I can flash my 52840DK and even the 52840 on the 9160DK without Problems
Greeting,
Philipp
Hi Philipp,
Thank you for testing and confirming.
Schmid said:I can flash my 52840DK and even the 52840 on the 9160DK without Problems
This is valuable information. I will share this with R&D to see if we can reproduce the issue.
Kind regards,
Håkon
Has anything progressed on resolving this issue?
I am still seeing this same issue trying to flash nRF9160 platforms on an Apple M2 laptop.
Apologies for responding to a dormant thread.
Hello,
Did you also try on another computer? What JLink versions do you have on the M2 laptop (and possible other machines that are working)? And are you trying to flash using DKs and the On Board Debugger, or are you using custom HW and a standalone debugger?
BR,
Edvin

(.venv) yat033@WICHITA-PH workspace % nrfjprog -v nrfjprog version: 10.24.0 external JLinkARM.dll version: 7.94e
Custom hardware and a SEGGER j-link Ultra+.
Flashing the binary (bootloader + application) in seperate parts works fine, combined it consistently fails.
Doing a full chip erase with `nrfjprog --recover` and then flashing without `--sectorerase` also works fine.
My suspicion is that with `--sectorerase` and a large binary, the erase component of the job takes too long (12 seconds) and thus the job times out. Is there perhaps a 10 second internal timeout on the erase operation?
