This note describes how to set up the emulated hardware platform.

2. Setting Up Hardware

Step through the following procedure in order to set up the emulated platform hardware:

• Connect the nRF9161 DK to the Linux host using a USB Type-C cable to get access to the on-board programmer and serial console. Specifically, connect a USB Type-C cable to the J6 connector.

• Connect nRF5340 DK to the Linux host to get access to the on-board programmer and serial console. Specifically, connect a Micro-USB cable to the J2 connector.

3. Connecting USB Devices to the VMware Virtual Machine

If the Linux is running in the Linux runs on a VMware virtual machine, perform the following procedure in order to get access to the nRF9161 DK and the nRF5340 DK over USB:

1. On the Windows host system, run VMware Workstation Player and launch the appropriate virtual machine.

2. In the virtual machine window, click Player and go to Removable Devices:

   

3. In the drop-down menu, select SEGGER J-Link and click Connect:

   

4. Click OK in the pop-up window:

   

5. On the virtual machine, two USB ACM devices are detected by the Linux host when each of the target boards is connected:

   Code Block

   [1018339.755434] usb 1-2.2: new full-speed USB device number 17 using uhci_hcd [1018339.995658] usb 1-2.2: New USB device found, idVendor=1366, idProduct=1051, bcdDevice= 1.00 [1018339.995664] usb 1-2.2: New USB device strings: Mfr=1, Product=2, SerialNumber=3 [1018339.995666] usb 1-2.2: Product: J-Link [1018339.995668] usb 1-2.2: Manufacturer: SEGGER [1018339.995669] usb 1-2.2: SerialNumber: 001050016904 [1018340.007741] cdc_acm 1-2.2:1.0: ttyACM0: USB ACM device [1018340.016108] cdc_acm 1-2.2:1.2: ttyACM1: USB ACM device

6. The target boards can now be programmed from the Linux virtual machine using nRF Util.
