blinky isn't

[tylerca310]

How do I resolve/update:

zephyr-sdk is outdated. Found 0.16.5, but 0.16.8 is required by the SDK.

 python is outdated. Found 3.9.13, but 3.12.4 is required by the SDK.

Blinky isn't blinking

Hi Scott,

Could you provide details of the board that you are using and the SDK that you are working with ?

Hello Priyanka and thank you.

I am using a nRF52840 Development Kit Board.

The SDK I am using is:

 Using the nRF Connect SDK v3.6.99 at c:\ncs\v2.7.99-cs2

I am following DevAcadamy nRF Connect SDK Fundamentals Lesson 1 Exercise 2

When I plug my USB cord in the board does not show up in the connected devices view:

No devices found

The "code view" shows:

{

  "board": "nrf52840dk/nrf52840",

  "boardRevision": "",

  "boardDir": "c:/ncs/v2.7.99-cs2/zephyr/boards/nordic/nrf52840dk",

  "shouldBuild": true,

  "optimizations": "none",

  "cmakeArgs": [],

  "confFiles": [

    "prj.conf"

  ],

  "buildDirectory": "build",

  "kconfigFragments": [],

  "snippets": [],

  "dtcOverlays": [],

  "extraDtcOverlays": []

}

not sure the board statement is correct or does the board have a "off/on" switch?

Output "view" is:

Hi Scott,

In order to deactivate the device protection, you could try nrfjprog --recover, or as mentioned in the log:

To fix, run "west flash --recover" instead.

Where should I get the missing software from?

[Priyanka]

You are trying "--recover" and not "nrfjprog--recover". Please try "nrfjprog --recover". This should help.
