RE: NER52 DK not detected on Visual Studio

Hi,

Since you're using the nRF52DK you need to use the "nrf52dk_nrf52832" build target when building your firmware. It should look like this for this exercise in the fundamentals course where you select "nrf52dk_nrf52832" instead of the showcased "nrf52833dk_nrf52833":

It is important that you build your firmware for the board you're using, otherwise you will not be able to program your device.

[quote user=""]Visual Studio shows "1050315142" as the connected device, but I was not able to find any board or MCU of that name in the build configuration page.[/quote]

This number is simply an identifier that represents this specific device, i.e the one you have connected. If you inspect your board you will find that this number is printed on the white sticker on the board. If you plug in another board you will see that it has a different ID.

Here's for instance A: a nRF52DK (same revision as you mention) and B: a nRF52833DK (older revision that does not use a nRF5340 as the debug interface).

Could you try to program your device with firmware built for the nRF52DK (build target "nrf52dk_nrf52832"), program your device with this successful built firmware and

To ensure that the build is successful we recommend that you remove the build folder from the project directory to ensure that the build is completely new.

Kind regards,
Andreas
