nRF52840 (dongle) example verification issue

[sasi]

Hi,

I am working on nRF52840 (dongle) using nRF Connect for desktop on windows 7.

I was able to write the  "peripheral/blinky" example and was able to see the output on chip with LED's blinking .

I tried to check "ble-peripheral/ble app blinky" example and couldn't see the output.

I also tried adding the soft device first and next added the example hex file as guided in Dev Zone but was unable to see the Button and LED functioning for those examples.

I want to check the dongle Button and LED functioning. Can you please guide me in this scenario by letting me know which example should I use and how to write hex files without memory merging issue?

Thanks,

Sasi

Hello Sasi,

Have you seen the ble_blinky example documentation from the SDK?
The documentation details how to test the functionality of the example, both using an android smartphone with the nRF Blinky app, or another ble_central unit.

unable to see the Button and LED functioning for those examples.

How did you test this? Did you have a central unit or android smartphone connected to the dongle?
Did you observe LED 1 turning on, after having uploaded the example to the dongle?

I want to check the dongle Button and LED functioning. Can you please guide me in this scenario by letting me know which example should I use and how to write hex files without memory merging issue?

I am not sure I have understood you correctly here - if you are asking how you can program your dongle, you can do so by uploading the precompiled hex file from the example, for example through the nRF Connect desktop application.

Best regards,
Karl
