Hi , nrf connect V.2.5.0 in windows 10 64bit, fails to launch Bluetooth low energy app. "DEBUG UART read operation on port  aborted" is the log info which i came to know from the log file. May i get any useful info to run nrf connect in windows 10. surprisingly the same nrf connect is working for Programmer (experimental )app. i can connect the BL654 DVK and able to read the memory. I would like to know why the low energy app is not working. am i missing any Dll's to install. attached log file for the same for more detailed info.

    seems like something went wrong on nRF Connect side. I have created an internal ticket for the developer to look into the log and comment back. For your reference the internal ticket number is NCP-2005

    I missed the part to see that you are using custom hardware (BL654 DVK) 

    the reason it works in Programmer app and not BLE app isn't necessarily strange. The Programmer app only deals with reading and writing to memory, no communication with FW is performed. The BLE app uses UART to communicate with the firmware. This communication seems to break down already at the first packet sent. nRF Connect sends the first setup command, [01 7e ], but gets no response from the connectivity firmware. 

    As you already know that the NCP tries to connect to UART and in your configuration, the NCP does not seem to have proper access to UART pins. I am not certain why but a sniff on your UART lines to see what is being sent/Received will give you some better idea. The internal ticket NCP-2005 is now closed.

    Hi Aryan. Thanks for the update. "As you already know that the NCP tries to connect to UART and in your configuration, the NCP does not seem to have proper access to UART pins." Could you please elaborate on this proper access to uart pins. Bcoz the problem described in earlier post is also observed with Power Profiler app along with Bluetooth Low Power application. I am using USB2 for flashing the firmware using jlink cdc uart and USB1 for data logging using console/terminal application.

    nrf connect from mobile works as expected with out any issues. But for testing the nordic sdk examples, nordic connect desktop version is prescribed. so for the desktop version of nrf connect, i neither can update firmware for jlink when i connect for the first time nor test any above mentioned apps. 

    pls find the attached snapshots of using nrf connect desktop version

    The segger(debug) chip  on our DK implements the driver for CDC communication from the host over UART. This debug chip in turns communicates with nRF using a fixed pin numbers as UART pins in nRF chip. If in your custom board, if the pin numbers used to connect the CDC UART data to nrf is different, then the firmware flashed into nRF chip would not be able to communicate with nRF connect. 

    Make sure that on your board the com port data from your PC goes to nRF pins this way

    P5 -> RTS

    P6->TXD

    P7 -> CTS

    P8 -> RXD

    and sniff those lines. 

    The above pin number is what the firmware flashed in your first image assumes that UART pins are and all the data from nRF side is on those pins. If the COM10 port is connected to different pins then there will be no communication.

    Based on the spec of BL654 

    The UART pins that are being used are different than what we used to communicate with COM ports.
