Unable to flash image using nRF Connect v3.6.1

Hi Support,

    I have tried setting up my nRF52840 Dongle (https://www.nordicsemi.com/Software-and-tools/Development-Kits/nRF52840-Dongle) PCA10059 as explained in the steps given in the documentation: https://infocenter.nordicsemi.com/index.jsp?topic=%2Fstruct_sdk%2Fstruct%2Fsdk_thread_zigbee.html&cp=7_7 under the  section "Building the examples with GCC" as shown below:

Then, i tried flashing the .hex file using nrf Connect v3.6.1 -> Programmer, but every time for every example and every dongle, i am getting the same error (i have 2 dongles and getting the same error for both).

  • HI Nagesh,

    Reporting "Nordic DFU Trigger Interface was not found. Please physically reset device." is not a problem. This just means that the device is no longer in DFU mode, and hence, it is not responding to the USB as a DFU device, which is what nRF Connect is looking for. As long as you see "DFU for application completed successfully!" from the log, your application program should be programmed through DFU.

    Best regards,

    Charlie
