First look at the nRF52840 {Dongle}

Running nrfconnect320x8664.AppImage on Linux (SuSE Leap 15.1).  Read "Getting Started" but that was of little help!

So, following my nose.. On the Apps tab of application, did all the updates. Then:

Opened "Bluetooth Low Energy" (top of list),  "Select Device" drop-down list. The dongle is reported at /dev/ttyACM0.

Selecting it, I get a message that "Device must be programmed?" I say "Yes" and I get these error messages.
