Hi Jerry,

It's true, the options are limited for the dongle. But please do take a look at this ticket. Maybe it can be of use.

Hi Priyanka,

I don't have an external debugger but I do have a nRF52480-DK that I do my debugging on. I used Nordic's nRF-Connect-for-desktop->Programmer to flash the dongle; It comes up and runs correctly, but in my code I have some printk statements that I would like to monitor on a terminal emulator (Putty). This may not be possible, if not, the fix is simple enough; just a little extra hardware.

If you don't want to spend anymore time on this issue, just go ahead and close it; I happy with your answer.

Regards,

Jerry

Hi Jerry,

Yes in order to program the dongle you need an external debugger. You can probably use any nRF DKs for this purpose. Did you do this?

There is the Dongle programming tutorial which can help, perhaps.

Can your VSCode not detect any boards, or just the dongle?

Best Regards,

Priyanka
