nRF Connect Error "NRF_ERROR_TIMEOUT"

Note that you need 2 boards to test with NRFConnect. One board you plug into PC so nRFConnect use that board as the BLE hardware (nRFConnect won't use the integrated BLE chip on the PC ). And on the second board you flash the peripheral hex file. The second board is the Device Under Test, the first board is the tester needed for NRFConnect.

But you need to test if the UART communication between PC and the tester board works fine as I suggested above.

Nordic provides compiled hex examples. Such as ble_app_alert_notification. And to burn it on the board you can drag it to the mounted drive. And then you should be able to connect to it with nRF Connect. I find the board with another Bluetooth device (smartphone) and I can connect to it. But nRF Connect keeps failing when I choose the COM port

Hi Alaa,

Have you tried to test and make sure UART interface works with your computer ? Have you tried UART example in the SDK and use a terminal application PC to interface?

Which Jlink driver version you have on your board ?

I don't understand why you have to "drag a ble_peripheral hex file" to the chip ?
