 I would like to understand the philosophy behind the nRF9160 DK acting as a debugger. I recover my thinky:91 connecting the 10 pin flat cable from thingy:91 to a nrf52840 DK, updating the firmware in the nRF52840 SoC.

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
[quote user=""]&amp;nbsp;Since I have both, the thingy and the nrf9160 DK board , &amp;nbsp;connected to &amp;nbsp;my computer, &amp;nbsp;which one should I select when I download the application to the thingy91 (thingy91 or nRF9160DK acting as debugger connected to thingy91) ?....[/quote]
&lt;p&gt;If you program the thingy:91 via. the nRF9160-DK, you should select the nRF9160-DK.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;If you open the thingy:91 instead, it assumes that you are to update using the mcuboot bootloader instead, which is not what you currently want to do.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Kind regards,&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Håkon&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item></channel></rss>
