So the "getting started" app in NRF desktop does not work with the nrf52840 DK (at least not with their set up). I didn't see this written anywhere so I'm hoping this post will prevent others from making my mistake.

To get started and run examples on the nrf52840 dk, the best thing to do is the classic way of downloading the nrf52 sdk, Segger embedded studio, and the command line tools. Inside the SDK there are a number of examples that had ses projects prebuilt. You can use these to get started!

Okay, so the Asset Tracker sample is written for the nRF9160 and connects to nRF Connect for Cloud via LTE. It cannot be run on any nRF52 device. Which is why you're getting all those errors.

As of now, NCS, unfortunately, does not support development on the nRF52-series (which isn't to say it isn't possible) so there are no samples in NCS at the moment for the nRF52-series. For the moment, you will need to write your own sample.

Best regards,

Heidi

Hi Heidi!

I'm hoping to start working with the nrf52840 DK (board PCA10056). Here is a screenshot of my connect options:

Thanks for your help!

Hi!

Can you send me a screenshot of the nRF Connect Options window you are filling in? Which board name are you building for?

Best regards,

Heidi
