nRF52840 usb dongle & nRF Connecrt for Desktop

Hi All.


I am trying to emulate a central BLE module to scan peripherals around, using an nRF52840 USB dongle and nRF Connect for Desktop. The goal is to confirm that my peripheral, which implements a beacon sample application, is really working in PHY CODED as I theoretically set it, compared to another peripheral implementing a ble_app_uart example application, in which I know that PHY CODED is set and has been field tested outdoors.


The plan is to scan both modules first with my mobile (from which I know it can implement PHY CODED and detect both modules, but I do not know if it can also detect legacy BT versions with no LR capabilities) and then with the dongle. Since I understand that the dongle does not detect coded PHY, I should be able to achieve my goal by comparing the scanning of both devices.


The problem is that when I try to implement the application Bluetooth Low Energy (v4.0.4 patch 1) in the nRF Connect for desktop (v5.1.0), the system does not sense the dongle, showing itself a permanent lighting green LED, and the desktop, a blank screen with the standalone application version. However, the dongle works fine with other applications, like RSSI Viewer.
Would anyone have a suggestion?
Thanks.
