Using Power Profiler Kit II on Chromebook

[Alan B Mitchell]

Hello,

I am trying to use a PPK II on Chromebook Linux.  The nRF Connect for Desktop software installs and runs but does not recognize the PPK II hardware.  I have allowed Linux access to the PPK II hardware, but it does not show up as a Serial port on Chromebook Linux.  From my research, I believe the Power Profiler software communicates with the PPK II via a serial port, so I believe this is the problem.

This is probably a problem with Chrome's OS handling of this particular USB device, but if anyone has a work-around, I would appreciate knowing about it.

The lsusb in Linux produces the following output:
Bus 001 Device 002: ID 1915:c00a Nordic Semiconductor ASA

and dmesg produces this output when the PPK II connects to LInux:
usb 1-1: new full-speed USB device number 3 using xhci_hcd

Thanks!

Hello Alan, 

There haven't been many cases regarding the use of Chromebook. I will need to forward to our responsible team to verify functionality. That said, the Chromebook linux does run Debian 10 (Buster), which should be supported from what I can tell. Have you downloaded and installed the Segger J-Link Software?

Kind regards,
Øyvind

Alan, our SW team reports that we do not support ChromeOS. We only support latest stable of Ubuntu.

Kind regards,
