Hi,

I am pretty new at it but also trying to do the exact same thing, the only difference I see is that Bjorn used mesh SDK v3.1.0 which goes with nRF5 SDK 15.2.0 this might solve the problem. (The soft device would be 6.1.0)
As I can see that you were able to compile the program and got the hex file, can u please guide me where did you Change the preprocessor definition to BOARD_PCA10059?? and you simply Added the code from Bjorn to simple_hal.c or replaced it completely?

Hi,

Following everything from the nRF52840 Dongle Tutorial should generally lead to a working application, so it is hard to tell what may be missing.

The best way to figure out what happens is to connect the Dongle to a programmer, either using a 10 pin Tag Connect cable or soldering wires directly on the Dongle. Not having a debugger connected severely limits the debugging capabilities. From your description it sounds like you get an assert and end up in the fault handler. From a debug session you should easily get file and line number.

By the way, have you tested the project that Bjørn provided in that other DevZone thread, on the Dongle?

Regards,
Terje
