nRF Connect for desktop

[Ming]

hi,

I want to use the Bluetooth Low Energy in nRF Connect for desktop. But I have no DK or dongle.

When I use my own development board and the MCU is nRF 52832, it can be downloaded, but it can't be connected.

Is the Bluetooth Low Energy function available only for PCA10028, PCA10031, PCA10040, PCA10056 and PCA10100?

and this is log about nRF Connect for Desktop

Hi

You're seeing this error message because the Segger ID doesn't match the Segger IDs for the DKs, so nRFConnect doesn't know what sort of device you're trying to connect. The reason it is like this in the BLE app is that the BLE app requires the device to work with any BLE device, which is why the app is locked to a specific range of Segger IDs.  As far as I know, there are no plans to change this, but we at support rarely know everything about the roadmap.

If you want to discuss this further, please contact the regional sales manager (RSM) of your area. If you don't know how to contact your RSM, please fill out our Sales Related Questions form to get in touch.

Best regards,

Simon
