Fails to verify device in QuickStart 1.2.0

[perage]

Hi,

I just received my Thingy91x. I followed the onboarding and created a provisioning profile in NRF Cloud. The device did not connect and no logs appeared in Serial terminal stating it did. (Only connected to serial port)

I tried to follow the quickstart again, but same issue. Then I turned the device off/on and tried again, after deleting the provisioning profiles created earlier.

Now It get stuck on step 4 - verify with error "Failed to verify device". If I skip that step, it stops also on providing a token.

I connected a nRF9151DK and tried that, and it stops on the program step as well.

I've tried to install both latest, and newer versions of Segger, but the problem persists.

System: Mac ARM (M2, latest macOS)

Please advice!

Hi Michal! 

This is the log from the QuickStart in nRF Connect for mac 1.2.0

[Øyvind]

Hello, Michal is currently out of office and asked me to follow up with your ticket. 

I just received my Thingy91x. I followed the onboarding and created a provisioning profile in NRF Cloud. The device did not connect and no logs appeared in Serial terminal stating it did. (Only connected to serial port)

Did you follow the steps and scan the QR code on the Thingy:91X? Did this not work to add the device to hello.nrfcloud.com? Or were you past that part and wanted to add this to your nRF Cloud account?

I tried to follow the quickstart again, but same issue.

Which of the four applications did you program the Thingy with?

I have seen issues with the verifying step failing before, usually a repeat of the steps have solved the issue. Could you please open the Developer tools in Quick Start with Command + Option + i and see if there are any messages, errors or similar while doing the verification?

Kind regards,
Øyvind

Hi!

To rewind, I'm trying both a Thingy91x and an nRF9151DK. If we focus on the latter, when I start nRF Connect for desktop, I choose quickStart (1.2.0) and follow the steps. At the program step, it the "Erase device" bar is green, but the three other bars (Modemcore Firmware 2.0.2, Application Core (nrf MultiCloud) and "Reset Device" steps are red with an error below "Failed to erase device". The development console of the app is empty.

The log is attached

I assume there's something with the Jlink, affecting both nRF9151DK and the Thingy91x init.

[Øyvind]

Discussing with our developers, this does seem like an issue with permission. It is plausible that the permissions for the folder /tmp/boost_interprocess/ needs to be edited. In your terminal, what do you get when running nrfjprog --ids?

[error] [    nRF] - Exception encountered while attempting to initialize multiprocess client: Operation not permitted
ERROR: An internal error has occurred, please try again.
NOTE: For additional output, try running again with logging enabled (--log).
NOTE: Any generated log error messages will be displayed.

If you get this output from the command, could you please try to change permissons to the folder using sudo chown <username> /tmp/boost_interprocess

Kind regards,
Øyvind

Hi! I only get 

zsh: command not found: nrfjprog

That seems strange since I've installed segger and did eventually manage to get Thingy up and running. Just 9151dk left now :) 

[Øyvind]

Seems like the path to nrfjprog is missing if you are not able to initiate it from Terminal. That said, nrfjprog is deprecated and will be replaced with nrf util. Have you installed this?
