https://devzone.nordicsemi.com/f/nordic-q-a/37518/nrf52840-dongle-how-to-program-both-softdevice-and-appHello Nordic experts, I just received an nRF52840 USB Dongle and I am trying to run one of the examples with softdevice. I am working on nRF5_SDK_15.0.0_a53641a. So, I first rebuilt the example &quot;\nRF5_SDK_15.0.0_a53641a\examples\ble_peripheral\ble_app_blinkyen-USTelligent Community 13Sun, 19 Aug 2018 21:53:36 GMThttps://devzone.nordicsemi.com/thread/144812?ContentTypeID=1Sun, 19 Aug 2018 21:53:36 GMT137ad170-7792-4731-bb38-c0d22fbe4515:055e917a-4ebf-4026-b71f-cf9b2bae561aHSh<p>Thanks for letting me know.

It should be out roughly end of next week. Then, you will be able to use the programmer v1.0.0-3 experimental to program the softdevice &amp; application in the same &quot;merged&quot; hex file. You can then drag &amp; drop two different hex files in the programmer app &amp; the app will merge the hex files &amp; do the DFU of the 52840 dongle. I have tested this myself &amp; it works very well.&nbsp;</p> <p>Kind Regards,</p> <p>Bjørn</p><div style="clear:both;"></div>
