nrf52840 dongle not found in "connected devices" in vscode

I am trying to use Visual Code environment (on macosx Intel macbook pro) to program nrf52840 dongle.

The dongle is found and programmed with using nRF Connect for Desktop, but in Visual Code it is not listed under the "connected devices".

The "nRF Connect" plugin is installed and it is working until the flash part (So build works without a problem), but when I try to flash I get "No device connected".

Any ideas what to do?

  • Hi

    VSCode will only support J-Link devices (such as the nRF52840DK), not bootloader devices like the dongle. 

    Either you have to use the nRF Connect for Desktop programmer app to flash your dongle, or connect a DK or J-Link programmer to your dongle through the 10-pin programming header (which requires you to solder on a connector, and get a 10-pin programming cable). 

    Best regards
    Torbjørn
