How to port ble_app_eddystone to nRF52 dongle?

[FrankBau]

I followed Einar's nRF52840 Dongle Programming Tutorial and tried the ble_peripheral/ble_app_eddystone example using SES 4.12.
Opened the project, changed the preprocessor define to BOARD_PCA10059 and built a release.
Put the .hex into nRF Connect (Windows 10), added s140_nrf52_6.1.0_softdevice.hex and programmed the dongle.
After dongle reboot, LD1 blinks green, but Android nRF Beacon for Eddystone does not find a beacon.
(nRF Connect for Android sees a Physical Web Beacon)

N.B.: Originally, I wanted to get ble_peripheral/ble_app_uart running but failed.
So I switched to some app that doesn't rely on chip peripherals/pinmux, but failed too.

I sounds like the FW is running correctly, but is not being seen by Android nRF Beacon for an unrelated reason. If it's ble_app_uart you wanted to test I'd suggest that you try the \peripheral\usbd_ble_uart instead, it's the same as ble_app_uart but use USB instead of UART to communicate with the host. I have verified that this example works the dongle.

Thanks Vidar, \peripheral\usbd_ble_uart works fine for me.
