PROGRAM THE DONGLE FOR BLE COMUNICATION WITH THE DK

[marikalp]

LIKE one of your collegue told me i tried to this...but it doesn't work on the dongle..

Dongle: SDK15.2.0\examples\ble_peripheral\ble_app_blinky\pca10059\s140\<your favorite compiler>

When you program the dongle, remember to also program the S140 softdevice while programming the dongle when you use nRF Programmer. It is located in SDK15.2.0\components\softdevice\s140\hex\s140_nrf52_6.1.0_softdevice.hex

When you program the dongle with both the application and the softdevice with nRF Programmer the green LED should turn on, meaning that it is advertising.

In particular have i to put on the donglefirst the softdevice or the example? anyway i tried end nrf_connect give me the same error twice:

''some of the hex files have overlapping data'':   what could i do now?

thanks a lot for answers.

I will correct myself from the last post, as I didn't specify which version of the 2.x series to use, it should be Python 2.7. Then, if you install nrfutil using "pip install nrfutil", you should be able to run the command.

Otherwise, here is another simple solution:

• Download the file nrfutil.exe from this link
• Create a new folder and place nrfutil.exe together with ble_app_blinky_pca10059_s140.hex in that folder
• Run the command as explained in the previous answer

Best regards,

Simon

but..now??? i have no idea how to overcame this.

So... I wasn't able to program the dongle by command line.. But I discovered one problem yesterday about the reset button. After this the dongle returned in bootloader mood and now I can program it by the Nrf connect app. Anyway..  For what reason the command line gave me the same error even if the dongle is now in bootloader mood?
