nRF9151 devkit does not enumerate under VS Code

[Jamal_nRF]

I have upgrade to nRF Connect for Desktop v5.2.0

Under the Desktop, I also upgrade Programmer APP to v4.6.2

and JLink to v818. Added the installation folder at the top of the Path environment variables.

The Programmer App can detect the nRF9151 DK

but VS Code does not

Somehow the JLink version is not detected?! Here is the log

Upgraded all the Desktop APPS now

They show up with a yellow warning triangle! Not sure if that provides some sort of hint about the root cause?

Careful with the Segger JLink installation, you actually have to tick a box there and cannot just blindly click next in 8.x versions. Also try the latest JLink version from Segger.com website.

could you please be more specific what need to be checked in the install procedure?

Hi Jamal,

Please follow the steps for installing nRF Connect SDK and VS Code from dev academy / SDK Fundamentals course / Lesson 1 and let me if it does not work (Exercise 1 - Installing nRF Connect SDK and VS Code - Nordic Developer Academy):

The box that need to be checked during installation and mentioned by Jörg is indicated in above picture.

Hello Ressa,

Thanks for the additional feedback

I did install a later JLink version v8.58 (JLink_Windows_V858_x86_64)

making sure the required checkbox is checked

updated my environment variables with the associated installation folder

rebooted VS Code, but still cannot enumerate the nRF9151DK

I also get this error from the nRF Connect for Desktop v5.2.0 when trying to open the Programmer APP

Somehow it is not able to see that the JLink has been upgraded

Let me know if I am missing something else...

Thank you

Jamal
