nRF Connect for VS Code unable to connect to device

[ArmNewbie]

Hi!

I'm trying out the nRF Connect for VS Code on a M1 Mac, and have a nRF9160-DK connected.

The VS Code stuff works fine, I'm able to build sample programs fine, but the nRF9160-DK does not show up as "Connected Devices".
I'm able to flash the nRF9160-DK with the newly built .hex-file via the SEGGER Jlink program from the command line (JLinkExe), but not able to flash via "Actions" in the VSCode extension ("No devices connected").

Also the Programmer (from the Desktop manager) does not connect to the device.

I've read other posts stating some issues with the M1 Mac versions, so have (also) tried installed x86-versions of the tools, but still no change.

This is output of the system report (if it might help):

Any hints of how to solve this?

Hi,

What version of nrfjprog and JLink do you have installed? You can find this by running nrfjprog --version in a terminal. Can you check if nrfjprog is able to see your device, using nrfjprog --com?

Can you share the support information from VS Code? Open Command Palette in VS Code and use the command nRF Connect: Generate Support Information to generate this, then upload the information here.

Best regards,
