Thank's for the quick reply. Bummer that this doesn't work out of the box, however, I'm able to view prints over the USB following this example from zephyr. For those developing on a Mac, after flashing the board, open a Terminal and run:

screen /dev/tty.usbmodem* 9600

where usbmodem* is the port connected to your board and 9600 the desired baud rate. No need to use the Arduino IDE.

Hi,

Please see Simon's answer here: https://devzone.nordicsemi.com/f/nordic-q-a/84448/no-devices-connected/351559#351559

There is no debugger/JLink device on the Arduino Nano 33 BLE board. In order to communicate with the nRF Connect for VS code you will need either a J-Link debugger or an nRF52 series DK.

According to the Arduino Nano datasheet (chapter 8, board operation), it's recommended using the Arduino Desktop IDE or Web editor.

Best regards,

Marte
