I had uninstalled all of my nRF tools, and while re-installing them for use with a nRF9161DK, I missed a small but crucial step. fnaf world

Thanks for pointing this out: I had uninstalled all of my nRF tools, and while re-installing for use with a nRF9161DK I missed this small but crucial step.

I'll note that following the 'Quick Start' instructions as provided with the nRF9161 Development Kit does not document this. Might I recommend that Nordic edit the URL referenced on the nRF9161DK box insert, nordicsemi.com/start9161dk, to alert Windows users? The procedure worked correctly on my M1 Mac, and caused me no end of frustration, double-checking cables, uninstalling/reinstalling, etc.

Sometimes, simply restarting the JLink software or unplugging and replugging the board can resolve connectivity issues. fnaf

Hi Chad

Is this the first time you have tested one of our devices on the computer? If so, when you install J-link make sure to install the USB driver as underlined here

Is the jumper on p22 in place?

Regards

Out of desperation I uninstalled everything to do with nordic and segger from my computer and followed the dev academy tutorial to setup nrf connect strictly through VSCode (nRF Connect SDK Fundamentals – Nordic Developer Academy (nordicsemi.com).

Everything worked fine during installation and setup, but board is still failing to flash and SW10 is set to nrf91. Below is my new terminal output when trying to flash blinky.
