nrf52840 Dongle and USB port problem

user114890

Hello,

I'm using nrf52840 Dongle and Visual Studio code "connected devices" won't detect Dongle board on my USB port.

nrfConnect for Desktop / Programmer detects it fine. It's just a bit painful to have to use that programming app.

I use 1.9.1 SDK. Windows 10
If I reset Dongle with push button it shows as "USB Serial Device (COM11)" but Visual Studio does not detect the board even if I refresh Connected devices.

I reloaded the whole IDE once already.

What am I missing? 

I found Marte's Github example where zigbee "lightbulb" that was ported to nrf52840 dongle and want to try it out with a few "dongle light bulbs".and a coordinator on a nrf52840DK

Thanks,

-JM

    Hi JM,

    The VS Code extension can only find JLink devices or MCUboot devices that are in bootloader mode. The nRF52840 dongle does not have an onboard debugger, and the bootloader on it is the Open USB bootloader from nRF5 SDK. So the dongle is not supported in nRF Connect for VS Code currently, and you will have to use the Programmer app. I have asked the developers if there are plans to support bootloaders from nRF5 SDK in the extension, and I will update you when I get a response.

    Best regards,

    Marte

    Ok. Yes debugger missing is clear. I thought since it has a "bootloader" it would be detected if I reset it. Yes I saw a info on nRF5 and USB so I figured it would also work on VS.

    Thanks!
