Creating a UWP app that can detect a Nordic device when connected through the usb port, and displaying the capabilities of the application uploaded on the device.

[Abhi74]

Hi, I'm working on developing a UWP app that can detect any or compatible Nordic devices. let's say a device has BLE capabilities, then through the desktop app i should be able to discover nearby advertisements and pair to a selected device through the User-Interface of the app. How can I do this, what source should I follow. I have basic understanding of UWP. I have already created a desktop app that can discover and pair with nearby devices by using my laptop's inbuilt Bluetooth chip. Now i want to do the same with a Nordic device. I have with me nrf5340 dk (2.0.2) and nrf25840 dongle. I have also used VS code with Nrf connect sdk. 

Please feel free to ask if my question is not clear.

is pc ble driver library only for for nrf52 and nrf51 devices?
i have a nrf 5340 dk how can i work with that.

I have tried flashing the nrf5340 dk with the central uart code. After flashing the device with the firmware how can i use the uwp application to detect the device. do i need to install any tool. can i use the native windows libraries like " Device Enumeration" to communicate with the nrf5340 dk or is there some other libraries that i can use in my uwp code to detect nordic devices.

Unfortunately, it can not support nRF5340DK.
