nRF Connect for Desktop reports "Connect a Nordic development kit"

[Christopher Hunt]

Hi there,

Having just migrated from an x86 Mac to an M1 Mac, I'm now having difficulty getting the programmer app of nRF Connect for Desktop to detect a device. When I attempt to, it asks me to "Connect a Nordic development kit" to your computer. I've got a number of these installed at /opt/nordic. Here's what is reported in the log window:

18:19:18.153

Failed to get the library versions: JLINKARM_DLL_COULD_NOT_BE_OPENED

18:19:18.346

Application data folder: /Users/huntc/Library/Application Support/nrfconnect/pc-nrfconnect-programmer

18:19:20.205

Error while probing devices: EnumerateWorker json error

Any ideas? I've installed nrfjprog and jlink. I can also flash to my device via other means, so the device is indeed there.

Thanks!

Hi,

Do you have any JLink debuggers connected to your computer that are not connected to another device, or any unused JLink devices connected? We have had reports of similar issues, and the developers found that this was often caused by unused JLink devices connected to the computer. There will be a new release with a fix for this, but until then the solution suggested by the developers is to disconnect all other JLink devices. If this does not solve the issue, please let me know.

Best regards,

Marte
