Hi,

Where are you getting this error? Could you be more specific? Is this an error you get while using the nRF Connect Programmer app?

Regards,

Marjeris

Thanks a lot for this tutorial that's help me.

However, I have an error when I want to generate the DFU for writing the code into the dongle : "AttributeError: 'dict' object has no attribute 'iteritems' ".

Do you know why ?

Thanks.

Hi Raymond,

Thanks for the positive feedback! 🙂 I have passed it to Einar, the author of the tutorial. Have a nice day!

Wow, the tutorial looks interesting to me as well. I did note that it is only dated today! Many thanks for the info on the voltage; I did notice the code in the Board Support Package relating to voltage control - that had me worried. Now explained in the turorial. I hope that newcomers really read carefully the first paragraph because I would have stood NO chance on getting my application working without the DK and its debugging facilities.

Hi FloBoth,

Maybe this tutorial can be of help https://devzone.nordicsemi.com/tutorials/b/getting-started/posts/nrf52840-dongle-programming-tutorial

See the part about "Adapting SDK projects for the nRF52840 Dongle"

OOPs, sorry, you cannot even program the pca10059 directly with SES without an intervening dev kit (pca10056). I have no direct experience since I await some dongles on back-order but read Case ID: 211595 for info. Sorry about that mis-information.

I also should have asked - are you trying to develop directly on the pca10059 dongle without a development kit i.e. a board that allows you to run the SEGGER debugger etc.? If you are, it is going to be VERY hard work IMHO. As far as I know, all you can do between SEGGER and the dongle is load a program and subsequently listen to the serial output from the dongle - not actually do any debugging on it. Maybe someone will correct me if I am wrong.

I am sorry to say this, but even if someone gives you another ready-made project for SEGGER you STILL won't understand how to resolve all the dependencies since you will simply hit the same problem when you try to change that. I had exactly the same trouble trying to understand the SEGGER environment when I first started with it. I also struggled to add libraries and sources to satisfy even the compilation and linking, let alone the operation.

I think that people will help you if you give a concrete example of errors when, for example, you try to use buttons. Take a small step - just try to read the buttons and explain here your problem. If you immeditely launch into gzll without experience of really simple steps, IMHO you will struggle.
