nRF Connect Programmer v2.0, no device can't be selected

[ToothlessYY]

I have updated the Programmer to v2.0, and connect 52840 with JLINK to my computer, but it can't be selected in Programmer. Previous version runs normally. What can I do? thanks.

Hi,

There is unfortunately an issue with the new release which the team is working to fix. For now the best solution if you see this is to downgrade to 3.7 and install app versions compatible with 3.7:

1. Download the latest 3.7 version of nRF Connect for Desktop from https://www.nordicsemi.com/Products/Development-tools/nRF-Connect-for-desktop/Download?lang=en#infotabs (for macOS this is 3.7.2, for Windows and Linux 3.7.1, because 3.7.2 was not needed and not released for these).
2. After starting nRF Connect for Desktop 3.7 a prompt will come up about the 3.8 upgrade. Click “No” on this.
3. In the Settings, click on “Add source”, enter the URL http://developer.nordicsemi.com/.pc-tools/nrfconnect-apps/3.7-apps/apps.json and click “Add”.
4. Back in the list of all apps, all apps should show up twice now, one with “official” below them and one with “3.7 compatible apps” below them. If you want to hide the incompatible versions, click on “Filter” and deselect “Official”.
5. Install the apps you need in the old versions and use them.
