No action after "Using USB SDFU protocol to communicate with target"

[edmont]

Using a nRF52840 Dongle (PCA10059) in bootloader mode under Ubuntu 18.04, nRF Connect v3.3.0 sometimes stops with this message "Using USB SDFU protocol to communicate with target", but no clue about why it does not continue discovering the device's versions.

Maybe some more logging is needed after this line:
https://github.com/NordicSemiconductor/pc-nrfconnect-programmer/blob/v1.3.1/lib/actions/usbsdfuTargetActions.js#L125

After uninstalling and installing the Programmer application through the nRF Connect UI the issue is not reproducing anymore.

Leaving it open anyway because more logging could be helpful in the future.

Also experienced the issue, similarly a reinstall resolved it. OpenSUSE Leap

Found that my motherboard is having USB issues, I think the nRF connect application should be able to error out instead of forever attempting the connection.

I can confirm the issue on Windows 11 as well with same nRF52840 Dongle (PCA10059).
