SEGGER Embedded Studio does not detect my nRF9160 DKSES

[Danny Zadok]

Hello,

I have followed all the Getting Started documents to setup the development for my new nRF9160 DK.

Among them, I installed SAGGER Embedded Studio version 4.52

The first step that I am doing is to "Open nRF Connect Project:

But it seems that SAGGER does not detect my connected DK board and the pull down list is disabled.

Other nRF Connect SDK tools (like LTE Link Monitor and Programmer) communicate with the board normally.

Can someone please help?

Thanks

Hi!

It looks like you are working from two different tags at once. The CMakeLists.txt file is in the 1.3.1 folder, and the board is from the 1.3.0 folder. Try switching either of them, based on which tag you want to be one. 

Please also note that the board name for the nRF9160 DK changed between these two versions. In 1.3.1, it's nrf9160dk_nrf9160(ns). 

Best regards,

Heidi

Thanks for the quick reply. But....
I uninstalled everything (SEGGER, Connect SDK, etc.) and re-installed.

The problem still exits.

By the way, I can use the Zephyr WEST tools to flash the samples. But SES does not see my board.

I updated the latest modem and firmaware, to the device, but it did not help at all....

Thanks

Again, it looks like you are working from two different tags. 

The path to the CMakeLists.txt file:

C:/Users/Danny/ncs/v1.3.1/zephyr/samples/hello_world/CMakeLists.txt

The path to the board directory:

C:/Users/Danny/ncs/v1.3.0/zephyr/boards/arm/nrf9160_pca10090

You need to change either of the paths, so that both the board directory and the sample you are using are from the same NCS tag.

For tag 1.3.0 these are the paths you need:

C:/Users/Danny/ncs/v1.3.0/zephyr/samples/hello_world/CMakeLists.txt
C:/Users/Danny/ncs/v1.3.0/zephyr/boards/arm/nrf9160_pca10090

For tag 1.3.1, these are the paths you need (because the name of the board changed)

C:/Users/Danny/ncs/v1.3.1/zephyr/samples/hello_world/CMakeLists.txt
C:/Users/Danny/ncs/v1.3.1/zephyr/boards/arm/nrf9160dk_nrf9160

Hi Heidi
Thanks for the reply. But as I wrote, I removed everything from my computer (v1.3.0 and v1.3.1) and reinstalled all. V1.3.0 does not exist on my computer any more.

The SES screen looks like the following:

As you see both are taken from V1.3.1 and the Board list is grayed and cannot be pulled down.

Hi! I see, I misunderstood your earlier comment.

The problem now is your board directory path points to a directory that does not (or should not) exist. 

Like I stated in my previous comment, for tag 1.3.1 this is the path you need:

C:/gitemma/ncs/v1.3.1/zephyr/boards/arm/nrf9160dk_nrf9160

You can also see this in the NCS repo here.

Best regards,

Heidi
