Thread Cli example not working

[morerook]

Hello,

I am trying to use the CLI example, but when I compile and upload it, LED1 does not blink and I do not get anything back on the serial port.

There is no error during compilation.

Hi.

Could you please explain more in detail what you're doing? Are you following the documentation?

Best regards,

Andreas

Hi, I am using the Nordic SDK for Thread and Zigbee. I uploaded the hex from the SDK for the CLI/USB (FTD) example for the nRF52840 DK to the dev kit, but I don't see any lights blinking on the dev kit.

When I try to connect to the board over PuTTY, I don't get any response when I attempt to send commands to it. However when upload the hex for the MQTT-SN example the CLI works.

Hi again.

Have you connected a cable to the USB port?

If you are using the USB example you also have to connect a cable to the nRF USB port which you plug into your computer, like below:

Best regards,

That was it! For some reason I thought USB was the USB connection to the debugger.
