The nRF52840 Dongle is a small, low‐cost USB dongle for Bluetooth® Low Energy, Bluetooth mesh,
Thread, ZigBee, 802.15.4, ANT and 2.4GHz proprietary applications using the nRF52840 SoC. The

still support all the short range wireless standards used with Nordic devices. The dongle has been
designed to be used as a wireless HW device together with nRF Connect for Desktop. For other
use cases please do note that there is no debug support on the Dongle, only support for
programming the device and communicating through USB.
It is supported by most of the nRF Connect for Desktop apps and will automatically be
programmed if needed. In addition custom applications can be made and downloaded to the
Dongle. It has a user programable RGB LED, a green LED, a user programmable button as well as
15 GPIO accessible from castellated solder points along the edge. Example applications are
available in the nRF5 SDK under the board name PCA10059.
