Programmer app not working with J-link after nrfconnect 3.6.1 update

[Tevia Sapire]

Hi,
After updating my nrfConnect to 3.6.1, I had issues using my J-link being unrecognized in the programmer app.
The J-link I'm using is part of a Silicon Labs Dev Kit, checking the details with J-link commander I get
Firmware: Silicon Labs J-Link Pro OB compiled Jan 15 2018 17:33:02
Hardware version: V4.00

After a big of digging I see that 3.6.1 has a newer version of nrfjprog bundled in, which I think seems to be causing the issue. I know my dev kit is not a nordic one, but is there any chance it will be supported going forward (a fix or older version of nrfjprog)? In the mean time I am using 3.6.0 and it is working fine.
Any feedback would be appreciated. Thanks

Hi,

I assume that you use the 3rd party Dev Kit as an external programmer, for programming a board with an nRF device on it. I do not know what the licensing terms are for your board that you use as J-Link programmer, if it allows programming devices from other companies than the one that the given Dev Kit comes from. It might be worth checking.

Regarding the programmer app, we have gotten some reports that there has been some issues.

Do you see this only with the programmer app, or does it happen for other nRF Connect apps as well?

Are you able to program using the nrfjprog command line tool directly?

Can you try using nrfjprog (the command line tool) with the "--log" option, and post the resulting log.log file?
