nrfjprog and jlink not found on linux (ubuntu 22 lts)

[_rm]

i had a up to date segger install before setting up nordic tools.

i have stored the nordic command line tools profile local.

both are in path ~ reachable from command line.

the nordic vs code plugin seems to not use the path.

how to fix the vs code error message?

there is a 2 year old thread "nrfjprog on Linux: support for LD_LIBRARY_PATH broken from 10.5.0 onwards and `/opt/SEGGER/JLink` hardcoded instead" . the mentioned problem might com up also ?

Hello,

Did you reboot your PC after installing the command line tools? This error can appear when not rebooting the computer after install. You could also try to restart VS Code.

Let me know if it helps!

Best regards,

Maria

Hi _rm,

Maria is out of office and I will try to support you in her absence.

Could you please help try to add nrjprog and jlink to path manually from .bashrc (by export PATH=<PATH_TO_EXE>:$PATH).

If that doesn't work, please help try the following:

• Run echo $PATH on a regular terminal, and a terminal launched from the Toolchain Manager and compare.
• Run nrfjprog -v on a regular terminal, and a terminal launched in VS Code

If nothing obvious stands out, please run "nRF Connect: Generate Support Information" in VS Code and share with us the information.

Please note that due to the Easter holiday, our responses on DevZone might be delayed. Our apologies for the inconveniences.

running  "nRF Connect: Generate Support Information" in vscode does not yield an (error) report, just a toast message "generating support information"

Looks like it's jlink that is not working correctly, causing nrfjprog to malfunction, and the VS Code Extension to complain about both of them.

Here are a few previous DevZone cases regarding this. All of them share a recommendation to reinstall J-Link tools in some way, so I think it should be the fix for you. Please go over them and see if following the exact steps described there helped you.

If none of the solutions above work, please try this again. It should print the information to the Output tab, and there should also be another toast that have a button for quick copy of the info, like my screenshot below:
