Which dongle do you have?
Two kinds of nRF52840 dongles, two ways to flash. Not sure? If plugging it in while double-tapping a reset shows up as a USB drive, it's drag-and-drop (Option 1).
Option 1 · Drag-and-drop a .uf2
For Seeed XIAO nRF52840, Makerdiary MDK, and other Adafruit-bootloader dongles. Can't really go wrong — it's just copying a file.

This flasher exists because of the folks in our issues:
- @drhaitch — for asking the obvious-in-hindsight question: "can I just get a compiled firmware and drop it on the dongle?" You were right to ask. This page is the answer. 🙌
- @jacobmarciniec — for jumping in to help a stranger compile it, README-in-hand, and being lovely about it. That kindness is the whole vibe. 🤝
Thank you both. Open hardware is better with people like you in the threads.
