Hi,

The path looks correct. I need more information on the device you are using. Is it nrf52840DK, nRF52840PDK, or a custom board? Also, what's the segger J-Link version on your side?

I found the path, and I checked the location. It was there. However, the Jlink shown was not found.

Hey,

In Visual Studio Code, open the 'Command Palette' (ctrl+shift+P) and type in "nRF Connect:Generate Support Information". When you start this command, you will be able to see a JSON document in the OUTPUT panel. In that document there will be a list of tools that the extension checks for, one of them being nrfjprog. It is listed with the full path along with the version it reports about itself. In my case, it is shown as below

"C:\\Program Files (x86)\\Nordic Semiconductor\\nrf-command-line-tools\\bin\\nrfjprog.exe": "10.11.0"

If the device is not getting detected even after clicking on the refresh button, then it might be because VS code is unable to find nrfjprog at the expected location. So kindly verify.

Regards,

Swathy

I don't really understand the sentence: "Generate support information command would list nrfjprog with a full path if found correctly." Could you collaborate on that?

Hi,

The command line tools are required for the development, programming and debugging of Nordic Semiconductor's nRF51, nRF52, nRF53 and nRF91 Series devices. Since you've installed it, then it should be fine.

Did you try clicking on the refresh button next to 'CONNECTED DEVICES'. If the connected device still does not appear, VSCode probably does not see nrfjprog at the expected location. Generate support information command would list nrfjprog with a full path if found correctly.

Also, could you check if the board works with SEGGER or west tool so as to confirm that the board is working properly?

Regards,

Swathy

Yes, I did but I don't know how I need to use that.

Hey,

I suppose you are using windows. Have you installed nRF Command Line Tools?
