Hi,

This is not correct. You can program the nRF52840 dongle via JLink only when using an external debugger. The easiest way to program the dongle will be to program it over USB DFU with nRF Connect Programmer app.

Pressing the reset key while inserting in the USB slot will not erase the program. Pressing the RESET button on the dongle will make the dongle entered the bootloader mode, and the led LD2 will pulse in red.

Please take a look at the 'nRF52840 Dongle programming Tutorial' on Devzone and the 'Programming' section in the nRF52840 Dongle infopages on the nordicsemi infocenter.

BR,
