&lt;p&gt;As far as I know the dongle is not supported in the quick start app. I would recommend that you have a look at the following &lt;a href="https://developer.nordicsemi.com/nRF_Connect_SDK/doc/2.5.2/nrf/device_guides/working_with_nrf/nrf52/features.html"&gt;link&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;as a general introduction to NCS and the 52 series. I would also recommend to check out the &lt;a href="https://infocenter.nordicsemi.com/index.jsp?topic=%2Fug_nrf52840_dongle%2FUG%2Fnrf52840_Dongle%2Fintro.html"&gt;Getting started&lt;/a&gt;. step 3-5 covers the old&amp;nbsp; nRF5 SDK which is not recommended for new designs as it has been in maintenance mode for some years, and therefor has not received any new features.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Regards&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Runar&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item></channel></rss>
