What is the supported ways of programming Thingy:91

Hi,

I just got the brand new Thingy:91 and would like to program it with an application earlier developed for the nrf9160 DK.

Further I'd like to use the Link Monitor applicaton in nRF Connect.

There is not a lot of info about the :91 (probably only a few folks has got it - and it's currently vacation times - at least in Sweden and Norway :-)

I was informed a couple of months back that the Thingy:91 was programmable via USB. Is this really the case, or do I need to go through the DK (like this: https://devzone.nordicsemi.com/f/nordic-q-a/35364/nordic-thingy-52-nrf52840-dk/135974#135974) ?

Unfortunately I don't have that cable and would like to test things out before waiting a week to receive it.

USB

The Thingy:91 shows up as "Bus 003 Device 026: ID 1915:520f Nordic Semiconductor ASA" and registers /dev/ttyACM0 and /dev/ttyACM1.

The nRF9160 DK shows up as "Bus 003 Device 023: ID 1366:1055 SEGGER".

Is there some nRF-specific driver available?

NFC/Bluetooth

The stock firmware does not advertise on BLE and NFC is not enabled (does not show up when scanning with NFC reader like Thingy:52).

The Thingy:52 could be DFUed via BLE, but I guess that's out of the question for now.

Getting started guide

The getting started page nordicsemi.com/thingy91 is not (yet) available.

So... basically I'm in the dark as of now.
