Makerdiary and segger embedded studio

Karthiknk

Hi,

Im using nRF52 DK for my project. I bought this makerdiary nRF52840 dongle as a secondary device. I go through the initial setup, it looks different than a nrf device. Can I use segger embedded studio and nrf connect with this makerdiary dongle for programming flashing and debugging? I want both my device to work on the same platform. Thank you for your time.

    Hi

    In order to flash and debug directly from SES you need to connect to the SWD interface on the dongle, which seems to be available on the side header based on their information (the RST, CLK and DIO pins):
    https://wiki.makerdiary.com/nrf52840-mdk-usb-dongle/

    You also need some kind of SWD programmer, but if you have a standard nRF52840DK you can use this as a debugger as discussed in this case. 

    In order for this to work it is important that the supply and GPIO voltage on the dongle is around 3V, but this seems to be the case based on the makerdiary page above. 

    If you want to program the device without using the SWD connection then the only option is to use a bootloader, but whether or not makerdiary ships the dongle with a bootloader (and how to access it) is something you need to check with them. 

    Best regards
