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.

    It took a few weeks, but I eventually solved this problem. I am posting the solution in hopes that someone else will benefit.

    Upgrading JLink V6.16b to V6.16f corrected both the JLink and nRF Connect problems. Segger was slow to approve my posting privileges in their user support forums, but they appear to be very prompt with bug fixes.

    If you ever have a problem with JLink, or any software that depends on it, I recommend checking Segger's web site for an update.
