My First test with nRF52840 on MS04SF7_V1.0 (from Minew dongle)

[ramon]

I have follow the nordic documentation but I can not get the blinky example on the dongle nRF52840

Hi Ramon

I agree with awneil on this one. Seeing as you're new to the scene, you'll likely save a lot of time and trouble by investing in a development kit sooner, rather than later. You'll almost certainly either need a DK and a 10-pin debug cable or a J-Link at one point either way, as that's the only way to recover a Dongle like this one if you need to recover the Dongle at one point (due to accidental deletion of the bootloader or similar). 

As for the programming of your Dongle, could you plug it in and read the flash in nRFConnect, that way you can see what is overlapping.

Best regards,

Simon

Hi Simon, 

Thanks for your support

Do you mean, that i can not flash in this dongle the examples, that basic blinky program on the dongle ??

Hi

Yes, you should be able to flash the blinky example to your Dongle. Are you flashing the correct .hex file? It should be found in this path: YOUR_SDK_FOLDER\examples\peripheral\blinky\hex and should be named blinky_pca10059_mbr.hex by default. What SDK version are you using by the way?

Were you able to read the Dongle's flash in nRFConnect, so we can see what the overlapping files are?

Best regards,

Simon

nrf5SDKforMeshv320src y los blinky que tengo son blinky_nrf52840_xxAA_s140_5.0.0-3.alpha.hex y hasta el blinky_nrf52840_xxAA_s140_6.1.1.hex

The SDK examples are designed to run unmodified on the Nordic SDKs.

They may require modification to work on other targets.

In order to determine what modifications are needed, and then make those modifications, you will need to have a good grasp of the product and the tools.

Again, to get that grasp of the product and the tools will be far easier on a Dev Kit.
