RE: Problems detecting nRF52 in visual studio

I recently had the same issue that I resolved by changing nrf-connect.deviceProvider configuration setting from nrfutil to nrfjprog. (For a full overview of settings and commands, click the Extensions icon from the Activity Bar. Then, click the extension's name and open the Feature Contributions tab)

Hi Filip,

Could try running 'nrfjprog --ids' in the command line in order to list out the ID of all the connected boards?

Regards,

Priyanka

I am using the latest version, v3.10.0

And the nRF Connect VS Code extention version i v2022.1.192

I attached the support information too.

Edit:

I got the loading error, it looks like this. Just constant spinning and never fully loads. I can see the content on the chip in windows explorer, but not interact with it in VSCode

Thanks!

Filip

Hi Filip,

Which version of nRF Connect for Desktop are you using? (the latest is v3.10.0)

Could you also tell me your nRF Connect VS Code extension version?

Also, could you provide the Support Information?

(Ctrl + Shift + P) -> type "Generate Support Information"

Regards,

Priyanka

Yes, I am using the nRF52DK.

The J-link version is V7.58b. I re-installed everything couple days ago, so it should be the newest version.

Hi,

And you are using the nRF52DK (not a nRF52 PDK?)

Also, Could you tell me your J-Link version?

Hello!

I have not tried in SEGGER, as I have not downloaded it.

But yes, I can see it in the deice manager. And it works on other computers, just not the one I'm developing on. Which is pretty annoying.

It's just with one board it doesn't work, if I swap the board it works.

Hi Filip,

Are you able to detect the device on the computer, i.e. in your device manager?

If so, have you tried on other IDEs in this computer, like SEGGER? (just to see if this is solely for the VSCode)

Regards,

Priyanka

I am having the same issue with the Nordic NRF52 Development Kit ( nRF52832, nRF52810) and a different debugger version (GNU Tools ARM Embedded\6 2017-q2-update\bin\arm-none-eabi-gdb.exe).
