Can't connect a device after updating nrf connect for vs code extentions version 2024.12.55.

[Martin73]

Hello,

I'm using 'nRF Connect for Desktop v4.2.0' and 'nRF Connect SDK v2.3.0' on windows 11.

I was using vs code well for developing nrf52840 board.

But, I found it cat not connect a device today. And I checked what is different between today and a feww days ago.

Diffrence is that 'nrf connect for vs code extentions version 2024.12.55'.

So, I tried to solve thsi issue and I could find "nrf-connect.deviceProvider" in settings of nRF Connect for VS Code extension.

I was tried to downgrade that extension version but the result is same... 

 

I think this is almost same with 'Case ID: 335923' but I'm working on windows11 so I couldn't use 'apt-get install...'.

Could you tell me how to solve this issue?

Thank you.

Hello,

We are transitioning away from nrfjprog (nRF Command Line Tools) over to nrfutil. If you are using a new NCS version, this will be automatically added to the toolchain, but if you are using an old version of NCS (a version before nrfutil was used as a standard), you may see issues like this.

Therefore, try installing nrfutil on your computer (outside any SDK environment). You can find it here:

https://www.nordicsemi.com/Products/Development-tools/nRF-Util

After installing it, please run a couple of commands:

1: "nrfutil self-upgrade"

2: "nrfutil install device"

3: "nrfutil upgrade device"

This will make sure that:

1: You are using the latest version of nrfutil.

2: You have installed the "device" submodule

3: You have the latest version of the "device" submodule installed.

The "device" submodule is what replaces the functionality of nrfjprog. 

Try this, and let me know if it doesn't work. You may need to properly close and re-start VS Code after completing steps 1-3.

Best regards,

Edvin
