Hello.
This is becoming a very serious issue for me. When I program the nrf52840 dongle and when I switches on the power, it automatically goes into bootloader mode, means red LED starts blinking and I need to program the dongle again.

Hi,
If you add the DFU Trigger Library (USB) to your custom device firmware, it will trigger the DFU from nRF Connect for Desktop without using any buttons. Please refer to nRF52840 Dongle programming.

I am using dongle as it is, in my project. Not using any module.
What I am trying to say is that the dongle goes into bootloader mode whenever I switch on power supply, means I put the dongle in my project and when I switch on 3.3V to the dongle, it goes into bootloader mode without any button presses.

Hi,
What firmware does the dongle use? Do you program it with your custom firmware? If so, is the custom firmware build with the DFU Trigger Library?
What do you want the dongle to do in the project?
-Amanda H.
Hi, thanks for your reply.
I want the dongle to scan ble beacons and transmit their data to another device via UART, I am using APP_TIMER for sending at specific time. The project is battery powered. The dongle scans for one second every minute.
I am using external supply for dongle by cutting the jumper and soldering another jumper as mentioned in the userguide. Hence I give 3.3V to Vdd out pin.
I write and build my programs using segger embedded studio and program them using nRF connect programmer app. I am using SDK 15.3 and softdevice s140.
And I often need to switch the power on and off, and I noticed when I switch on the power, the dongle automatically goes into bootloader mode and the red led starts blinking. Then I need to program the dongle using nRF connect programmer app while the power is on. But when I swtich off the power and switch it on again, the dongle goes to bootloader mode. This is happening 80 % of the time. Maybe I am doing something wrong, kindly give some suggestions.
Hi,
Which example is the project based on?
What user guide do you refer to? Could you kindly provide the link?
-Amanda H.
I followed this example which is based on nordic SDK example.
https://github.com/nicslabdev/NRF52840-Beacon_Scanner
I added an app_timer in the example to send the data and changed other things. But I am having problems in the code as well. I have started a separate question regarding this. If you want to follow, here is the link. https://devzone.nordicsemi.com/f/nordic-q-a/50592/storing-adv-data. The engineer is really helping me out on this.
But I think this reset is a different issue.
The user guide I followed is https://infocenter.nordicsemi.com/pdf/nRF52840_Dongle_User_Guide_v1.0.pdf.
I want to use dongle in a product which has a switch to on and off power, and if this happens, it will be a problem. I cant program dongle again and again or when if has been deployed.

Hi,
Could you try to program the following images (s140_nrf52_6.1.0_softdevice.hex and ble_app_blinky_pca10059_s140.hex ) to see have the same sympton or not?
nRF5_SDK_15.2.0_9412b96\components\softdevice\s140\hex\s140_nrf52_6.1.0_softdevice.hex
nRF5_SDK\examples\ble_peripheral\ble_app_blinky\hex\ble_app_blinky_pca10059_s140.hex
Also, check the status of the RESET button is in or out.
