no showing in connected devices view
Hello tylerca310,
There is so little information, but I have to guess you are using the nRF Connect for VS Code extension, and the device you connect to the PC does not show up under the Connected Devices panel.
Is it a Development Kit you are working with? If so, please refer to its documentation and make sure that the power supply related switches are in the expected position. On the nRF52840 DK, by default, SW9 nRF Power Source should be at VDD, SW6 should be at DEFAULT, and SW8 POWER must be at ON.
If the switches are in the correct positions already, please check if the DK populates a JLINK drive on your PC at all.
If no JLINK drive is not presented, please try using a different USB cable or different DK if available.

Thank you for your help
I am using a development kit but it has no documentation
The nRF Power source is set to VDD
SW6 and SW8 do not appear to be switches - they look more like jumpers - not sure about their settings
What is a JLINK drive and how do I check to see if the DK populates it on my PC
The USB cable is good - I use it on a Arduino Nano
The DK is brand new
It doesn't sound like a Nordic Development Kit you are working with here. What is it? Does it have any onboard debugger?
The nRF Connect for VS Code extension only shows Nordic SoCs connected through a J-Link debugger.
Here's the latest:
Thanks to your valuable help the prior issues are resolved
Now it looks like it is compiling but fatal-ing on the flash:
ERROR: No debuggers were discovered.
NOTE: For additional output, try running again with logging enabled (--log).
NOTE: Any generated log error messages will be displayed.
FATAL ERROR: command exited with status 41: nrfjprog --program 'C:\nordic\myapps\fund_less1_ecer2\build\fund_less1_ecer2\zephyr\zephyr.hex' --sectoranduicrerase --verify -f NRF52 --snr 1050265833
It seems to me like my nRF Connect need some issue fixes - can you advise please?
Thank you,
Scott
For this new issue, my previous questions are still relevant.

I'm using a nRF52840 DK
Seems like I need to install a debugger?
OK... the nRF52840 DK doesn't have these characteristics that you described:

A J-Link drive is just a drive that is named JLINK. The debugger on the DK will populate such a drive when it is plugged in, like a flash drive/USB stick.
What version of J-Link and nrfjprog do you have installed?

Where should I get the missing software from?
What happen if you just run "west"?
Can you share the support information from the nRF Connect for VS Code extension? Refer to this guide for direction on how to do so: https://docs.nordicsemi.com/bundle/nrf-connect-vscode/page/reference/ui_sidebar_welcome.html.
