Hi.

Maybe you could take a look at this previous ticket on the same topic:
https://devzone.nordicsemi.com/f/nordic-q-a/39435/running-examples-on-nrf52840-dongle/ 

You will need to define the TX/RX pins yourself, in the board header file.
This can be found in sdk_root/components/boards/pca10059.h

Also worth taking a look at is the nRF52840 Dongle Programming tutorial here on devzone:

I applied everything essential, but my dongle restarts consecutively. I want to use 0.24 as TX pin. I edited pca10059.h header file for this but, unfortunately I am having trouble with this. I just want to send some data to another device(via GPIO) using UART. Please help me. Thank you very much.
