Unable to flash hex file on nRF52840 USB Dongle using nRF Programmer tool

[beparas]

Hello Team,

I have started studying OpenThread. To test an OpenThread application, I bought an nRF52840 USB dongle.

I have built the FTD example using the following steps:

$ cd ~/src/ot-nrf528xx
$ rm -rf build
$ script/build nrf52840 USB_trans -DOT_JOINER=ON -DOT_COMMISSIONER=ON
$ cd ~/src/ot-nrf528xx/build/bin
$ arm-none-eabi-objcopy -O ihex ot-cli-ftd ot-cli-ftd.hex

Reference: https://openthread.io/codelabs/openthread-hardware#4

To flash the ot-cli-ftd.hex bin, I am planning to use nRF Programmer.

1] I connected the nRF52840 USB dongle to the PC.
2] Put nRF52840 USB dongle in DFU mode, indicated by the RGB LED pulsing RED.
3] Now I launched the Programmer application from nRF Connect for Desktop and selected the nRF52840 USB dongle.
4] I added the ot-cli-ftd.hex file by clicking the "Add file" button.
5] but the "Write" button is still disabled on the Programmer.





The programmer debug log is attached.

Could you please help me to resolve this issue?

Test setup

1] On the PC Ubuntu, 20.04.6 LTS is running. 
2] The nRF Connect for Desktop (v4.0.1) is running on Ubuntu.
3] nRF Programmer v3.0.8
4] nRF52840 USB Dongle information

• Board number (PCA10059)
• Hardware revision: 2.1.1
• Production year and week (2023.2)

Hi,

Please use the Thread samples in nRF Connect SDK instead. You can find the documentation for the samples here: nRF Connect SDK - Thread samples.

The write button is disabled because the firmware you are trying to upload to the dongle overlaps with the MBR (Master Boot Record) on the dongle. You can see this by hovering over the regions in the Programmer app. The MBR occupies 0 - 0xFFF, so applications must start at 0x1000. This is handled automatically in nRF Connect SDK when you build for the nRF52840 Dongle.

Best regards,
Marte

Thanks for your help,

The following set of command works for me

$ cd ~/src/ot-nrf528xx
$ rm -rf build
$ script/build nrf52840 USB_trans -DOT_BOOTLOADER=USB -DOT_JOINER=ON -DOT_COMMISSIONER=ON
$ cd ~/src/ot-nrf528xx/build/bin
$ arm-none-eabi-objcopy -O ihex ot-cli-ftd ot-cli-ftd.hex
