I'm getting started with an (older) nrf52840DK board. I'm following the instructions presented here: https://infocenter.nordicsemi.com/index.jsp?topic=%2Fcom.nordic.infocenter.sdk%2Fdita%2Fsdk%2Fnrf5_sdk.html
I have downloaded and installed the SDK (version 17.0.2), the SEGGER Embedded Studio (version 5.42b) and the SEGGER J-Link software (version 7.20).
I am working with Linux-based tools in a VirtualBox VM, hosted on a Windows 10 environment.
Within the VM, I can communicate with the nrf52840DK. I can copy a .hex file to it and the board accepts and runs the application.
When I launch Embedded Studio, however, I find problems - it doesn't seem to recognize my license key and it doesn't think there's a device to connect to.
* On the "Target" menu, I see "Connect Simulator" instead of "Connect Device".
* I requested and got a license key from SEGGER. I installed it within the License Manager window and it seems good - it is showing starts for the MAC address, expiration date, license and vendor (Nordict Semi). But the License Manager's main screen still says "No installed activation". The "Diagnose Problems" window shows the matching MAC address and finds the nrf52840DK's serial number in the J-Link section (but shows "No Installed Licenses" there).
So my question is:
1: Did I mess up the installation? How do I get SES to see the nrf82840DK's J-Link so I can debug it?
2: Why isn't my license key recognized? And does this actually matter?
