Unknown device error 9 in nrf programmer

[Khodidas11]

Hi,

We designed our custom board using nrf54l05, and tried to flash it using segger J-lInk as well as using nrf54L15-DK Debuger out port using nrf connect Programmer utility. we checked and verified connections which are OK, 
but facing issue of error code 9, UNKNOWN Device.

Please Help

Regards

Hi,

Can you try to use nRF Command line Tools and do a recover? If it fails, can you add the --log argument and share the log with us?

Make sure that the device is powered when doing this.

nrfjprog --recover --log

best regards

Already tried this , error throws. It was using nrf54l15-Dk external debugger output port

Hi,

So there was some miscommunication in my previous reply, let me fix that:

nRF Command Line tools is not longer supported for these devices. Use nrfutil device v2.8.8 or later instead. You can download that here. 

See PCN 219 for more information on this.

Still issue same, i have updated segger Jlink , and having nrfutil V2.8.8 already installed. Tried using nrfconnect programmer utility gives error 9 UNKNOWN device

Hi,

Instead of using nRF connect programmer, can you try to use nrfutil device from the command line and do a recover:

nrfutil device recover

Can you share a screenshot of what it returns?

Hi,

Can you update nrfutil as well, you are using an older version,

run:

nrfutil self-upgrade

Hi,

If it still doesn't work after upgrading nrfutil and nrfutil device to the latest versions, please run:

nrfutil device recover --log-output stdout --json

This will give you a more verbose log, please upload this log and I'll discuss it with our developers,

best regards
