You may run&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="https://github.com/NordicSemiconductor/nrf-udev"&gt;nrf-udev&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;to change it. Alternatively,&amp;nbsp; add your user to the &lt;a href="https://askubuntu.com/questions/133235/how-do-i-allow-non-root-access-to-ttyusb0"&gt;dailout group&lt;/a&gt;.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Edit: the programmer app will normally flash the device with Jlink. Access to the serial port is not needed then.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item></channel></rss>
