EV-BW833 board not recognised by nrf connect Desktop v3.3.0

[Anarchira]

I have a nrf52833 pca10100 which can connect to nRF Connect Desktop to program fine. EVBW833 should have the same chip DK but it is not being recognized. Is there a way I can make nRF Connect do so?

Hi

I don't see an onboard debugger on this board, which is likely why the computer can't recognize the device as a JLink, and why you can't connect it to nRFConnect. You'll need a JLink device in order to flash anything onto the onboard chip and this would also be why it's not able to communicate with the nRFConnect app.

Best regards,

Simon

Is there a way for nrfConnect to recognize it (maybe not as debugger but some board).

Hi

The alternative would be to have an open USB bootloader flashed onto the device which allows it to be programmed without the need of a debugger. I'm not sure whether this board supports USB like this, but it's worth a shot I guess. You can check out our Dongle programming tutorial for a brief explanation and things to be aware of with the USB bootloader. The USB bootloader example can be downloaded from our Infocenter in SDK v.16.0.0.

Best regards,
