Ah ok, sorry then. I was under the assumption that quick start would help me installing the right tool. ;-)

Thanks for the quick help, Øyvind, all works fine now!

Yes, the Quick Start does not support PPK2.Please use Power Profiler.

Kind regards,

I installed the nRF Connect through the DMG.

Then, I plugged in the PPK2, and ran the Quick Start, it asked me to also get the J-Link software. So I installed that.

Then restarted everything, Quick Start detects the PPK2, but has only a greyed out entry saying "Not supported yet".

Logs, I can only submit tonight. I'm not at the system right now.

Addition: under Linux, the very same PPK2 works fine.
