https://devzone.nordicsemi.com/f/nordic-q-a/1858/basic-nrf51422-ev-get-started-questionsHello I am new to developing with the evaluation kit and have a few very basic questions. Any answers or pointers to relevant documents would be much appreciated. 1: In the ev kit there are one board and one usb dongle, what are the main differencesen-USTelligent Community 13Thu, 13 Mar 2014 12:01:29 GMThttps://devzone.nordicsemi.com/thread/8043?ContentTypeID=1Thu, 13 Mar 2014 12:01:29 GMT137ad170-7792-4731-bb38-c0d22fbe4515:39330f1e-5e85-42cb-962b-b8a7e4077ef2Ole Morten<p>The primary difference between the Evaluation Kit and the USB dongle is the amount of buttons and LEDs on-board, and the ease of connecting things to the GPIOs. The nRF51822 chip is the same, and the Segger chip comes with the exact same functionality on both. The Linux drivers for it enables you to program the nRF51822, and send and receive UART data from it.</p> <p>The USB dongle is hence not a proper Bluetooth USB dongle, and will not work out of the box with BlueZ. If this is what you want, I&#39;d recommend you to instead get hold of a regular Bluetooth 4.0 compatible USB dongle, for instance <a href="http://www.iogear.com/product/GBU521/">this</a>, which I&#39;ve personally used successfully under Linux.</p><div style="clear:both;"></div>
