How to program nRF52840-Dongle simply with a GPIO example

[Marien]

Hi,  I already read more threads about this issue.  How to program the nRF52840-Dongle.
Most threads go to far in details, where my knowledge ends...

I just want to run a simple IO program, NO SD usage.  on the Dongle.  I made this program on the nRF52840-DK with the Segger Emb Studio.
All IO is compatible, same pins used for the application..

I read I can use:
1. nRF connect app for windows  ->  Programmer
2. command tool,  
3. Tag connect interface  SWDIO

1. I hoped to use the programmer.  this app askes for the SD when I "Write".  Erase is disabled.  After updating SD in de Dongle to: S130 V6.0
it gives a succesfull program.  but the IO program does not run.   When loading the Hex  it overlaps the SD flash area.
any way.  the program does not seem to run.

2 and 3 I did not try yet..   I expected the USB would work for this..

I just use  Example\peripheral\gpiote.

Hi,

A non-SD based application must start at address 0x1000 in flash, and at 0x20000008 in RAM. Same as the "blinky" PCA10059 (board configurations) project configurations in \examples\peripheral\blinky\pca10059\mbr

Have you tried to run the blinky example to see if it works on your dongle?
