Sketch

// Basic Blink Sketch for Adafruit Feather nRF52840
// Smoke test code

// The onboard LED is connected to pin 13 on the Feather nRF52840
#define LED_PIN 13

void setup() {
// Initialize the digital pin as an output.
pinMode(LED_PIN, OUTPUT);
}

void loop() {
// Turn the LED on (HIGH is the voltage level)
digitalWrite(LED_PIN, HIGH);
// Wait for a second
delay(1000);
// Turn the LED off by making the voltage LOW
digitalWrite(LED_PIN, LOW);
// Wait for a second
delay(1000);
}

What happened ?

Can get the code to be verified and or uploaded. Can't burn the bootloader either.

Note: lost as to where to open this issue, so I defaulted to this repo. Seems like a known issue with a relationship to the adafruit-nrfutil tool https://github.com/adafruit/Adafruit_nRF52_nrfutil/blob/1361059009ff6a24d63b37eb3a4b28127837ead2/README.md

How to reproduce ?

MacOS Sonoma latest version, python from brew latest version
Paste the code
Verify/upload
