System requirements for nrf connect and other Nordic software.

[RAM_MS]

Hello ,I am starting new development in Nordic environment and my system configuration is intel i3 with 8gb ram.

Still it is way too much slow to open nrf connect for desktop and other Nordic software .(Taking 10 mins to open the application)

So can you please suggest the required configuration ,so that applications will run smoothly .

Thanks,

Ram

Could you please also confirm which OS you are using, as well as which version of nRF Connect for Desktop?

I am using windows and nrf connect for Desktop v 3.7.1.

Hi Ram,

Thank you. Are you using Windows 7 or Windows 10? Windows 7 is no longer supported.

Another thing to try is to uninstall all apps and then install only the ones you really need. Try installing one at a time and try to find out which one is causing the long startup times.

It could also be worth a try to reinstall nRF Connect for Desktop.

Best regards,

Håkon

I am using windows 10.

And I tested by reinstalling every app one by one mainly Toolchain manager is too much slow ,others are in normal speed .

Do I need to upgrade the system from i3 to i5 or need  i3  latest generation?

Best regards,

Hello Ram,

If the problem is mostly related to Toolchain manager, please create a system report for the app and send it back to us.

Best regards,
