Datasheet

The nRF52840 MDK USB Dongle is a small and low-cost development platform

enabled by the nRF52840 multiprotocol System-on-Chip in a convenient USB dongle

form factor.

The USB Dongle is fully multiprotocol capable with full protocol concurrency. It has

protocol support for Bluetooth 5, Bluetooth mesh, Thread, Zigbee, IEEE 802.15.4,

ANT and 2.4 GHz proprietary stacks.

Alternatively the USB Dongle can act as a Network Co-Processor (NCP) with a

simple connection to a PC or other USB enabled device.
