Hi all,
In Device Manager, my nRF52840 DK is recognized as follows:
JLink CDC UART Port (COM32)
JLink CDC UART Port (COM33)
USB Serial Device (COM22) — running a Zephyr CDC ACM sample
However, in nRF Connect for VS Code > CONNECTED DEVICES, it says "No devices found."
Strangely, after rebooting the PC, the board appears temporarily, but then disappears again after a short while.
Things I've tried:
Reinstalling nRF Connect SDK and VS Code (Link)
Rebooting the computer
Could anyone help me troubleshoot this issue?
