nRF Connect: which USB BT devices are supported ?

[MDF]

I'm trying to make a sensor device BLE capable (using a 52832) - and some tutorials I read suggest to use "nRF Connect" for desktop for test and debugging.

I have an Asus BT500 and also a Logilink/CSR8510 USB dongle attached to my Windows PC but nRF won't find them. According to window's device manager, the drivers are properly installed. What kind of "device" will nRF connect accept ?

Funny thing, my Texas Instruments flash programmer for MSP430 is accepted by nRF connect and listed in the "select device" list.

Hi

The nRF Connect BLE app for desktop is only supported by Nordic Development kits and Dongles, as the app is locked to a specific range of Segger IDs. This is done because the devices that use this application are required to work with any BLE device.

Please check out the nRF Connect Bluetooth Low Energy user guide here for more details.

Best regards,

Simon
