nRF Connect v3.2.0 issue for nFR9160

 Hi, 

I am new to Nordic Thingy91.


I have tried to connect Nordic Thingy91 (nRF9160) device using "nRF connect v3.2.0", via USB.
But I am facing, below issue.

Issue 1: "unsupported device: the detected device could not be recognized as neither jlink device nor nordic USB device for windows 10"

Tried: I have tried installing different versions of J-Link from below:
www.segger.com/.../
(Tried with: 6.22g,e 6.50e, etc.,)

But no luck, and below issue is seen,

Issue 2: "unsupported device with serial number PCA_20035_d081421f4d65 and trails ["serialport"]"

Is JTAG necessary to flash/program the "nRF9160" and "nRF52840"..?

Host Machine Details (Where I am trying to flash/Program the nRF9160):
Windows 10
nRF Connect v3.2.0

NOTE: Apart from nRF Connect v3.2.0, I didn't installed any tools in windows 10 machine.
I have a Nordic Thingy91 development environment (including SEGGER) in a different machine. Planing to use windows 10 to flash/program the nRF9160 remotely.


I was able to successfully compile and generate the binary (Ex: Asset tracking) in the development environment.

Please direct me to the correct path, whether I am missing anything on Windows 10 machine to flash/program the nRF9160.


Thank you for your help.

  • Hi,


    As per the directions above, I have checked out the v1.1.0 branch and built a sample code as follows.

    cd ncs/nrf
    git checkout -b v1.1.0
    git branch

    master

    * v1.1.0 ==> I am in v1.1.0 branch.

    cd ncs/nrf/samples/usb/usb_uart
    west build -b nrf52840_pca20035

    --> Build was success, and I am ready to burn the nRF52840 (PCA20035) with app_update.bin/merged.hex on thingy91 device using "mcumgr" (mcumgr --conntype=serial --connstring=COM image upload <image>).

    --> But, could you please let me know, is there any possible way that I can bring back nRF52840, if MCUBoot flash fails with "mcumgr"...!!


    As I don't have nRF DK(pca10090)/JLink to bring it back externally.

    Thank you.
