NRF52840 Dongle using NRF Connect

Hello, I have a couple of questions concerning the nrf52840 dongle

1. Is the dongle supported in the nrf connect sdk? I see that the board is within the build boards, but I noticed that when I put the device in bootloader mode, it does not appear.

2. Where is the code that is used for the NRF Connect for desktop BLE app? I noticed it flashes the dongle in order to use the app and was hoping to be able to modify my own version of it so that it only looks for my device

Thanks!

    What I meant was connected devices list on the nrf connect vs code extension.

    Since the nRF52840 dongle doesn't have an onboard debugger, it will not be shown in the VS Code. You need to use the nRF Programmer to flash the image. nRF52840 dongle is for prototyping, so I would suggest you use nRF52840DK including the onboard debugger for development.
