Debugging Adafruit feather nrf52840

[Emily]

Hello,

I have a couple of Adafruit Feather nrf52840 express devices and I want to set up a small openthread network. As far as setting up a simple network where all the devices have a basic cli-ftd flashed onto them everything works. But I want to extend it so that when I press the button on the feather device it sends a multicast udp message. I found a tutorial by openthread to do something similar and alternated the code a little bit. My code is building, and I can also flash the adafruit feather device.

My problem is: When I plug the feather device with a usb cable into my computer it is not recognize.

Is there any way I can debug the code I wrote or can anybody help me with this problem?

Best regards,

Emily

Hi Emily
The tutorial you reference is about a nrf52840DK this board comes with onboard segger chip that support flasher & debugging.
this chip is not present on the adfruit feather.

The adafruit website has some great tutorial but most of them uses the arduino ide (or such) that may regocnize the board as-is when connecting via the usb (like with the arduino uno board.) 

Hence my question what software are you using?

I'm a bit confused with the ides, to be honest. That's why I'm using Atom. I know there is segger embedded studio but I don't really understand how I set up a new project that fits my board and chip precisely.

Can you recommend any ides?
