LTE Link Monitor not showing non-Nordic devices with "Show only supported devices" unchecked

[Jared]

On the latest version of LTE Link Monitor (2.0.0), it does not show other serial ports on OSX when "Show only supported devices" is unchecked.

Hi Jared,

Thank you for reporting this. We have seen some issues with detecting devices in the latest versions of nRF Connect for Desktop. I will forward this to the developers.

Can you share any information about what device you are trying to open that is not detected, and do you have any other JLink devices or debuggers connected as well?

Best regards,

Marte

It's a nRF9160 Feather. It uses an onboard CP2102. No other devices connected.

Hi Jared,

I will report this internally to the developers. For this, it will be helpful to know more about your setup.

What version of nrfjprog and JLink do you have installed? You can check this with nrfjprog --version. Does the device show up if you execute the command nrfjprog --com or nrfjprog --ids?

Best regards,

Marte

Hi Marte, 

❯ nrfjprog --version
nrfjprog version: 10.11.1 
JLinkARM.dll version: 7.52d

❯ nrfjprog --com

It shows up as a serial port. It will not show up as a J-Link device. (The device name in OSX is /dev/tty.SLAB_USBtoUART)

I did try it again here and it showed up this time around. So I'm not sure what's preventing the serial device list from populating. 

Hope this is useful!

Hi Jared,

Thank you for providing this information. I see that you are using version 10.11.1 of nrfjprog, can you try to update this to the latest version, 10.15.1, and see if the issue persists?

Best regards,

Marte

So far so good Marte. Will let you know if I run into the problem again.
