Hello there,
Thank you for posting your issue on DevZone. I'm not fully aware of what you are trying to achieve, can you please provide more details? I.e. what version of nRF Connect SDK are you using? Have you looked at the Developing with nRF9160 DK chapter in our documentation. The nRF9160 itself does not support BLE, as this is a pure LTE device.
The nRF9160:LTE Sensor Gateway sample could be a good starting point.
Kind regards,
Øyvind
I have tried switching from NRF91 to the NRF52 as instructed to do, if I want to work on BLE application, the screenshot above is from when I had switched to nrf52. For some reason it keeps saying that it's not in the supported device list even though I am using an nrf52840 DK
I'm sorry but I'm very confused at the moment. Are you working on the nRF9160DK or the nRF52840DK?
What application are you trying to program and how are you building and programming this application?

Please link to these instructions so that I can understand what instructions you are following.
Thank you!

Oh, the instructions were just, to switch to nrf52DK from the program debug switch swf10, to use the board as nrf52840DK instead of nrf9160DK, so I switched to nrf52 on the board and thought the ble would work but it just says that the nrf52 is not in the list of supported devices and Bluetooth doesn't work. I am just trying to get the board to detect devices for now, that's all.

Can you please provide what instructions you are following?
This makes no sense to me. Please clarify what development kit you are working on and what samples you are trying to program. Also, I will need to know what SDK you are working on. Please provide as much details as possible.
You are talking about two complete different development kits which do not overlap, based on different technologies BLE vs LTE.
Kind regards,

I am using an nrf9160 DK which can switch to nrf52, as it has a switch on it for debugging, I am using nrf connect 3.10.0 with BLE 3.0.0 and currently, I am trying to program any samples, I am just trying to get the Bluetooth working. I am using nrf Connect SDK 1.9.0
Thanks for clarifying. I think I understand what you are trying to achieve, however the nRF9160DK is targeting the LTE device nRF9160 and using the nRF52840 as a board controller on the development kit. This causes some buttons, LEDs and GPIOs to be controlled by the board controller and are connected via multiple switches.
That said, it is possible to use the nRF52840 as a BLE device, but please note that this may change behavior of the development kit. Please see the board controller documentation under Developing with nRF9160 DK.
We do have a blog post on nRF9160 DK: Offloading Bluetooth Low Energy related tasks to nRF52840 SoC.
If you are targeting BLE development, we do recommend using one of our BLE development kits as these are less advanced. Please see our BLE portfolio
Kind regards,
Øyvind
