The dongle is the perfect target hardware for use with nRF Connect for Desktop as it is low-cost but 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. It can also be used to develop code for the nRF52840 SoC mounted on the dongle. Programming is supported through a USB enabled bootloader. Connectors for external debuggers are available. The dongle is supported by most of the nRF Connect for Desktop apps and will automatically be programmed if needed. It is the number one target for coming nRF Connect apps. 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. Free software development tools, including protocol stacks (SoftDevices) and the nRF5 SDK, are available to download from www.nordicsemi.com Bluetooth 5 - Longer range, and higher throughput The nRF52840 SoC is ready to take advantage of the considerable performance improvements for Bluetooth LE with the arrival of the Bluetooth 5 specification. Of greatest importance is the support for longer range (up to x4 compared to Bluetooth 4.x) and doubling of on-air data rate, up to 2 Mbs from 1 Mbs in Bluetooth 4.x High link budget for in-home applications The nRF52840 SoC is the ideal solution for smart connected home applications. It supports both Bluetooth 5’s long range feature and also 802.15.4 which is already a popular technology for home networking protocols. With a maximum output power of 8 dBm a total link budget of >111 dBm is achievable for achieving robust communications through objects within the home. nRF52840 Dongle Development dongle for Bluetooth 5/Bluetooth mesh/Thread/Zigbee/802.15.4/ANT/2.4GHz
nRF52840 Dongle Product Brief Version 1.1 Arm CryptoCell 310 The nRF52840 features an on-chip Arm CryptoCell 310 cryptographic hardware accelerator. CryptoCell offers a wide range of ciphers and security features for building solid security into applications from the ground up. Use of CryptoCell also makes associated security operations run faster and uses less processing time and power than equivalent operation carried out in software by the CPU. OTA-DFU The nRF52840 SoC is supported by Over-the-Air Device Firmware Upgrade (OTA-DFU). This allows for in the field updates of application and/or protocol stack. Nordic SoftDevices Nordic protocol stacks are known as SoftDevices. SoftDevices are pre-compiled binaries without runtime dependencies. They reside in a separate memory location to your application and offer safer, easier, and more secure application development. The nRF52840 SoC is supported by the S140 SoftDevice. S140 SoftDevice The S140 SoftDevice supports 20 Bluetooth LE links in concurrent operation operation for all 4 roles (Central/ Peripheral/Broadcaster/Ob server). The S140 is a Bluetooth 5 qualified stack and as such supports the latest long range and high throughput features introduced in Bluetooth 5.
