How to downgrade nRF Connect plugins?

[Florian Zierer]

I have issues running the upgrade of nRF Conenct (too old linux version to run nRF Connect 3).

I tried to downgrade, downloaded v2.6.2 appimage from https://github.com/NordicSemiconductor/pc-nrfconnect-core/releases and wanted to run PPK nd BLE again.

Unfortunately I already upgraded the plugins.

Is there a way to get the packages of older plugins to install as described in https://github.com/NordicSemiconductor/pc-nrfconnect-core#manual-installation-of-apps

I tried cloning the repository of PPk and installing it manually but didn't have the correct versions of node.js, npm, ...

Hi.

Could you try:

https://developer.nordicsemi.com/.pc-tools/nrfconnect-apps/pc-nrfconnect-ble-2.2.1.tgz

https://developer.nordicsemi.com/.pc-tools/nrfconnect-apps/pc-nrfconnect-ppk-2.2.0.tgz

Note that it's not advised to downgrade.

Best regards,

Andreas

Hi Andreas,

the pc-nrfconnect-ble-2.2.1 is working, but the ppk seems to be for nRFConnect 3.

I fiddled a bit with the links and could download pc-nrfconnect-ble-2.2.1.tgz, pc-nrfconnect-ppk-2.1.0.tgz, pc-nrfconnect-programmer-1.0.2.tgz, pc-nrfconnect-rssi-1.1.0.tgz

Now my setup is working again.

Thanks a lot,

Florian

could you post instructions on how you downgraded to nrfconnect-programmer-1.0.2? I tried searching for the exe file but it seems like it still runs on "C:\Users\C\AppData\Local\Programs\nrfconnect\nRF Connect.exe" --args --open-official-app pc-nrfconnect-programmer --source official

Hi

Please do the following in order to downgrade to an older version of nRFConnect apps.

• Download and install nRFConnect.
• Uninstall the current nRFConnect programmer version by clicking the dropdown tab and uninstall.
• Close nRFConnect
• Download and place the .tgz file in C:\Users\<username>\.nrfconnect-apps\local\.
• Open nRFConnect and run the app. You should now be using the version you placed in the \local\ folder.

Best regards,

Simon
