  • Hi,

    Have a look at this User Guide on how to program and use the nRF52840 Dongle. The dongle is the preferred hardware to be used with the nRF Connect for Desktop and can be used with nRF5 SDK for product development. But unfortunately, the Mesh SDK does not support the nRF52840 Dongle(PCA10059) as of now. You will need a development board to test the Mesh SDK. You can see which board are compatible here.

  • Hi,

    Yes, it is possible to program the dongle using the DK.

    On the DK there is a connector called Debug Out. You need a 10 pin segger cable that fits there, then connect this cable from the DK to the P1 pin headers. You would have to solder the programming pins on P1 (on the bottom side of the dongle). 

    Have a look at this post for more detailed information regarding programming the dongle.
