No devices available in nRF Connect Programmer

[nicolae.georgescu]

Hello,

I have installed nRF Connect and the Programmer following https://infocenter.nordicsemi.com/pdf/nRF9160_DK_Getting_Started_Guide.pdf
At step 3.2.2 i see "No devices available", the nRF 9160 DK is not in the list.

On the board: LED 5 blinks fast. LED 3 blinks slow (about once per second)

Setup:
- Windows PC, nRF Connect v3.7.1 - Programmer v1.4.11

- The board is older, i have it from a colleague until my order arrives
  Board info: PCA10090, 0.9.0, 2019.20, 960076819

Below is a pic with the board. Maybe some jumpers are not set ok?

Hello Geo,

It seems like an older version of the device. However it should work for development purpose. 

Have you checked that it power up properly? You can try a new usb cable for instance. 

You also should consider to get a newer version. 

Let us know if it works with another usb cable.

Best Regards,

Hello Kazi,

Thanks for the reply. I feel silly, but after testing with different USB cables it worked with 3rd one and i can see the DK now.
I will keep it in mind to have better cables for next time :)

And yes, i have already ordered a new DK but got my hands on this older one until package arrives.

Thanks,
Geo

Good luck.
