    Hi,

    Have you tried to recover the device using nrfjprog --recover?

    Also, is your DK being recognized or show up in the computers device list? Is this a problem only in VSCode?

    Best Regards,

    Priyanka

    Yes, but some.

    Also the board is recognized on VS Code as function well programming direct to nRF9160-DK with Jumper P22 connected.

    Hi,

    Did you make sure that the Thingy:91 is also powered on? Also, from your log, it can been seen that you use nRF Comman Line Tools v10.15.2. Could you try updating this to the latest version? https://www.nordicsemi.com/Products/Development-tools/nRF-Command-Line-Tools/Download?lang=en#infotabs

    Dear Priyanka:

    I am using Win10Pro 21H2.

    I just try to update the command line tools, but some:

    The thingy91 is good flash directly from USB as well as the DK board well programming itself.

    So that I don't know where the problem from , should I need try Linux ?

    From your other comments, I see you have (at least) 2 DKs, and 2 Thingies, right?

    And you already tried to exchange them, in vain.

    How many 10-wire-ribbons did you test?

    I finally uninstall everything included the nrf-command tool and Jlink driver and install all to latest version again. Those boards work normally again, may some issue due to long time not upgrade. Thanks.
