Unable to flash nRF9160-DK with Quick Start or nrfprog in VSCode

Hi,

I have a nRF9160-DK (PCA10090, 1.0.0, 2020.50) that I am trying to flash with the Modem Shell using the Quick Start app on a M1 Max MacBook Pro, running macOS 14.5.

I have also tried to flash this device using Linux on another laptop, but that yielded a very similiar error.

Also, while the device is connected via USB, macOS complains about a storage drive called JLINK being removed about every second.

Is the DK broken? Are there any recovery steps?

  • Hello, 

    Also, while the device is connected via USB, macOS complains about a storage drive called JLINK being removed about every second.

    There is nothing wrong with the DK in regards to JLink reporting it being removed every second, it's a "feature". I have the same issue and have reported internally. 

    I have a nRF9160-DK (PCA10090, 1.0.0, 2020.50) that I am trying to flash with the Modem Shell using the Quick Start app on a M1 Max MacBook Pro, running macOS 14.5

    Could you please try downloading the precompiled package from the nRF9160DK product page (under Downloads) and try programming the modem shell sample using the Programmer app in nRF Connect for Desktop?

    Thanks!

    Kind regards,
    Øyvind
