Error: unable to find a matching CMSIS-DAP device

Failed uploading: uploading error: exit status 1

Have no idea what a CMSIS-DAP device is nor what I'm supposed to do about it.

Tried "Burn Bootloader" since that was someone else's secret move that fixed their problem. No joy.
Removed "Arduino AVR Boards" and "Arduino Mbed OS Nicla Boards" and reinstalled them since that was someone else's secret move to fix their upload problem. No joy.

I've tried various other sketches, some I wrote previously and some from the examples, all get the same error.

I bought this Nicla Sense back in June 2022 and was able to upload sketches into it back then. Got stymied by the temperature offset error and put this aside. It's been a while since I've had time (Sep 2022) to get back to this project so I upgraded all the Arduino infrastructure.

Can't even get the LEDs to blink.

What is a "CMSIS-DAP device" and how do I make the IDE happy so that I can upload a simple sketch?

Thanks,
Kee

I have no experience with your board so can't help.

Your topic has been moved to the dedicated Nicla Sense ME section of the forum.

Thank you.

What a cryptic error message. The USB cable I was using appears to be power only. I switched to another USB cable and the device appears under macOS System Report for Hardware / USB:

The IDE made it look like I had connectivity to the Nicla Sense ME but that was not true.

CMSIS-DAP is used for debugging devices. See: CMSIS-DAP info.
