nrf52 dongle

[Jens Meder]

Hey there,

are there any plans for NRF52 USB development dongles (just like the NRF51 dongle)?

Thanks,

Jens

Great news!

Thanks Adrian Eggenberger, that was helpful. I did a little write-up of flashing the dongle with custom firmware (in this case iBeacon) here, if you're interested:

Kudos to AprilBrother for allowing and documenting it!

did you ever make an nRF52 dongle?  Is it FCC certified?

Is it currently for sale?

Hi Aryan,
It looks like this dongle is now listed on the Nordic site:
https://www.nordicsemi.com/eng/Products/nRF52840-Dongle

But it appears to be only available through Mouser starting in late August.

Is this the only option for getting the nRF52 dongle?

You could try to get one from Avnet, they say they have it in stock right now.
