  4. Start the Master Control Panel from the Windows Start menu (Start > All Programs > Nordic Semiconductor > Master Control Panel).
  5. Make sure the Development Dongle is detected. The Master Emulator item list should show COMnn-xxxxxxxxx (nn gives the COM port number; xxxxxxxxx is the SEGGER serial number printed on the dongle). Restart the application if it doesn’t appear in the item list. Before continuing, make sure you have selected the correct device by verifying the serial number in the item list with the serial number printed on the Development Dongle.
  6. When you use the Development Dongle for the first time, you must program it with the Master Emulator Firmware. a. In the Master Control Panel menu click File and select Flash Programming. b. Click Browse. This opens a browser that automatically points to the location of the mefw_ nrf51822__firmware.hex ( will be replaced by a number giving the version of the actual firmware).
