You can see how to adapt a project to the Dongle in out Dongle Programming tutorial. There should not be any other steps required than that. This case confirms that it's possible to make it work and that there shouldn't be any out of the ordinary steps.

Hello!

Thank you for your response. I followed the suggested terminal settings but still can't seem to be getting output from the dongle. I want to be able to read output I send from the dongle via main.c from PuTTY. Is there a special way to do so aside from your NRF_LOG_INFO or printf?

PuTTY or a similar terminal should work just fine to read the UART data. You can follow these instructions to set it up and test the usbd_ble_uart example. Also, make sure your terminal settings are correct.

Due to the summer holidays in Norway, our support team is understaffed this week, and delayed replies must be expected. Sorry for the inconvenience!

Best regards,
