nrfGoStudio 1.21.1 not seeing Nordic 52840

[Cecylia]

Hi there,

I'm trying to download the latest nRFgo Studio (1.21.1) on the website, but using this version I cannot detect Nordic 52840.

I notice that this package is using Jlink 5.12 and nrf Command Line 8.5.0. 
If I remove nrfGo 1.21.1 and use just nrf5 Command Line 9.8.1 and Jlink 6.41a, then I can access 52840 ok.  But nrfGo has convenience such as downloading the binary directly using GUI.  Is there something wrong I did for the installation, or is it just not updated yet?

Another thing I notice is that when I install nrf5 Command Line Tool for Windows 64 bit (nrfgostudiowin641212installer.msi), it will install in "Program Files" instead of "Program Files (x86)".  So then if I install nrfGo for 64-bit, the nrfGo will fail to run because it cannot find nrfjprog.dll in this x86 directory.

C:\Program Files (x86)\Nordic Semiconductor\nrf5x\bin>where nrfjprog
C:\Program Files\Nordic Semiconductor\nrf5x\bin\nrfjprog.exe

Thanks,
Cecylia

Hey,

You can try nRF Connect for Desktop if you need a GUI tool for flashing hex files. The nrfGo Studio is old software and is probably not maintained now.

Got it, I'll give this nRF Connect a try.  Thanks!
