Visual Studio Code nRF Connect extension "Connected Devices" doesn't see my Thingy:91X, but sees other DevKits

[PhilWare]

Hi,

I've been using dev kits like nRF9161-DK and when plugging them in to my laptop they all work with the Programmer Tool, "nRFUtil device list", and the nRF Connect Code extension, showing up in the "Connected Devices" section, but when I connect my Thingy:91X, which is running the nRF Cloud multi-services app, I can see it in the Programmer Tool and "nRFUtil device list", but it doesn't show up in Visual Studio Code's "Connected Devices" section. It just says "No devices found".

I am using the latest SDK and Toolchain, the latest nRF Connect Extension and latest VS Code, In fact I've uninstalled everything and reinstalled everything again - still no joy.

What is special about the Thingy:91X and the nRF Connect Extension that means it isn't discovered in that?

Is there something I need to enable?

Thanks,

Phil.

Hi Phil,

Thingy91 is not supposed to be shown under Connected Devices view. Please refer to NCS Fundamentals course. 


Please also have a look at this discussion.

To work with Thingy91, you can refer to Developing with Thingy91 guide.

Best regards,
Dejan
