Manuell target device selection for establishing connection to a nRF51 Dongle

[Matt]

To establish a connection to a nRF51 Dongle I have recently following problem:

A J-Link Window “J-Link Window_Device Selection.png” appears and in the following Window “J-Link Window_Target device settings.png” where I have to select the target device manually.

This procedure I have to do twice to establish a connection to a dongle.

What can I do that the Target device got chosen automatically like before?

Hi,

I suspect this issue may have been introduced by the new J-link driver, so I think it will help do downgrade to an older J-link release. But Master control panel is deprecated and replaced by the Bluetooth app in nRF connect for desktop. I would recommend switching over if possible.

Thanks for your input.

Downgrading the J-Link driver was the solution. Unfortunately that wasn’t so easy but after some adjustments within the Registry it finally worked again.

In a long term solution we are going to replace the dongle to the nRF52. For now it has to work with the old one.
