The dongle porting guide is for the nRF5 SDKs, not the nRF Connect SDK. In nRF Connect SDK you use the nrf52840dongle_nrf52840 target.

Sorry, I wasn't clear enough.

I was trying to take Blinky sample program and adapt it to the nRF52840 dongle, as explained here. But I don't see how I could do this if Options context menu is disabled on all nodes in project tree in SES, so I cannot open preprocessor definitions. Then I started opening other nRF Connect SDK sample projects and I see the same behavior with almost all samples. My understanding is that the only way to make new project is to open an existing sample and then modify it. If I cannot change preprocessor definitions how could I convert sample to what I need?

Since initial post I installed nRF5 SDK and found that samples there could be adjusted, so I am not blocked, but still confused -- why there are 3 sets of samples with different project formats?

Thank you,

Sergei

[quote user=""] After a while project ES is created, but there is no entry where Options are enabled. I discovered when I tried to make changes recommented for dongle. Here is how project tree looks like[/quote]

What options?

It's not clear to us what exactly it is that you are trying to do, what you are observing, nor what it is that you expected to observe. Can you elaborate further?
