Programming the Nordic Thingy:53

Question

Hi there, I'm having trouble programming the Nordic Thingy:53. I've got a nRF53 dev kit connected to it via the 10 pin connector (as per the instructions) and of course I've got the dev kit connected to the computer. The thing is that I only see the dev kit - not the Thingy53. Earlier I used a 52840 dk to connect to the Thingy53 and I could 'see' the Thingy but I found out that I could no use it as a programmer. 
 
 Is there something obvious I am missing? Any help would be appreciated!

Hello Helgi, 
 If you are able to see the nrf5340 with ID number printed on the label you can start working. You won't be able to see any device named Thingy in the Programmer App. 
 I am confused how it happened for 52840Dk, ideally it won't happen that way. This happens when you connect both DK and Thingy to PC via USB cable(don't do that way) 
 I just checked with 5340DK and was able to update the firmware. Please make sure your thingy53 is not connected to PC via USB cable. 
 
 Kind Regards, 
 Abhijith
