nRF5340 DK and PPK2 not working

[langestefann]

Hi,

I am using the PPK2 to evaluate the nRF5340. Neither of these devices is currently working properly, I think the underlying cause has something to do with USB that's why I created only one issue. 

• PPK2

It works the first time after restarting my computer. If I then close Power Profiler and select the device again it hangs at 'Opening device with s/n EAA9B4F32C15'. After that it will not be usable. I have tried unplugging/replugging the USB, using with a powered USB hub, without a USB hub, nothing works except restarting my PC. It's identical to this issue but it never got a solution unfortunately: https://devzone.nordicsemi.com/f/nordic-q-a/76900/cant-open-power-profiler-kit-2-on-windows-pc

• nRF5340 DK

It can connect fine. When I press the 'read' button to read the memory I get:

15:04:19.393 Failed to get device memory map: async task failure for id: 1865463227 msg: JLINKARM_DLL_TIME_OUT_ERROR (Origin: "Error when running fw program.")
15:04:19.393 Error when reading device

I tried the same with nrfjprog command line utility and it gave the same result. I have attached the log here for reference:

 

Furthermore I have tried:

• Using a personal laptop. Both devices work fine on this machine, no issues whatsoever. This makes me sure that it's something with my installation. 
• Reinstalling. I just did a clean install of all software involved, including windows drivers. Unfortunately it made no difference.

Hi

I'm not able to download or open the log you have provided. First, please turn on Verbose logging when by going to ABOUT and enable it, then restart the app, so we can get more information from the log as well:

Then add it as a file using the insert image/video/file option here so we can review it.

 

One more thing you can try to do is uninstall the Power Profiler app, the nRF Connect app entirely, and then (assuming you're on Windows) go to C:\Users\<your username>\AppData\Roaming\nrfconnect in your file explorer and make sure this folder is empty or non-existent before reinstalling nRF Connect for Desktop and the Power Profiler app. If that also fails, can you tell me more about your computer? Is it a Windows machine, Linux or Mac OS, and what version? Is the USB cable next to another USB 3.0 device?

Best regards,

Simon

Your suggested solution fixed the situation for the nRF5340 DK, I can now use it

Unfortunately the PPK2 still hangs as before, so I have added it's log file as requested. (This is the log file of the PPK2 in Power Profiler.)

I am using a windows 11 machine. The USB cable isn't next to any device, the whole USB 3.0 hub is empty. I also tried a USB 3.0 port which is on the motherboard and a USB 2.0 port on the front of the PC but it made no difference. I tried a short and a long USB cable (which both worked on my laptop with the PPK2) and it also made no difference.

I was previously using WSL2 with usbipd, but because of the issues I switched back to basic windows 11. 

Thanks!
