nRF Connect, Ubuntu Gnome 17.04, blank window

Ladasky

Hello everyone,

I'm usually on the cutting edge with Ubuntu Linux. I upgrade my development box frequently, because I like the precompiled binaries in the Ubuntu repository. I prefer to use my time building nRF52 apps from source, rather than building Linux apps from source.

I just upgraded to Ubuntu Gnome 17.04. I also have nRF Connect v 1.1.1. I have a PCA10040 board connected to a USB port, to use as a BLE receiver.

I had everything working in 16.04, save for a mysterious, but apparently harmless, JavaScript error message which occurred when I closed nRF Connect (click here if you're interested).

On 17.04, nRF Connect starts up correctly. The Select serial port pull down menu shows my PCA10040 board attached to /dev/tty/ACM0. However, when I select that board, the whole nRF Connect window goes... blank.

Please advise, thanks.

    Could you try the following (if you have not allready):

    • Install Google Chrome and all dependecies.
    • Install latest JLink driver.
    • Erase the board using nrfjprog eraseall command.
    • Upgrade JLink Interface FW to latest version.
    • Program the connectivity HEX file directly using nrfjprog. The file (for PCA10040) can be found in nrf-connect-linux-x64/resources/app/node_modules/nrfconnect-appmodule-ble/node_modules/pc-ble-driver-js/pc-ble-driver/hex/sd_api_v3
