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

I would like to shift focus to the nRF Connect for Desktop / Programmer Application

I get this log

How do I work around the "No operations possible for device."

is there a way to enable the MCUboot to program?

all options under DEVICE are disabled

this is a blocking issue, so your prompt support is greatly appreciated

thank you

After installing and updating the system's PATH environment variable, have you tried to reboot the PC not just VS Code? It seems the issue (no operation possible) is still related to SEGGER issue that is not detected. 

[Jamal_nRF]

Affirmative. I did reboot the PC, VS Code, and nRF Connect for Desktop.

I just did reboot the PC again again and the problem still persists.

Can we please just focus on fixing the issue with the nRF Connect for Desktop.

I need a way to program my nRF9151DK devkit

Thanks

[Ressa]

Do you have any other Nordic dk to check to see if you get same MCU boot error ? I think it is still related to J-link issue not being detected. 

Do you have nrfutil installed ? can you try with command line the recover command: nrfutil device recover 



If you don't have nrfutil installed, please get it from here: nRF Util - nordicsemi.com , then place the executable file in a folder and add the folder address to your system's path. Then restart your system, after that you should be able to use it through windows command line.

[Jamal_nRF]

This has to do with the JLink install indeed. After few un-install / re-install, the devkit is being connected now!

Thanks for your support.
