Bluetooth low energy wouldn't work on the NRF91 even when switched to NRF52 and flashed with the appropriate firmware

Hello there,

Thank you for posting your issue on DevZone. I'm not fully aware of what you are trying to achieve, can you please provide more details? I.e. what version of nRF Connect SDK are you using? Have you looked at the Developing with nRF9160 DK chapter in our documentation. The nRF9160 itself does not support BLE, as this is a pure LTE device.

The nRF9160:LTE Sensor Gateway sample could be a good starting point.

Kind regards,
Øyvind

I have tried switching from NRF91 to the NRF52 as instructed to do, if I want to work on BLE application, the screenshot above is from when I had switched to nrf52. For some reason it keeps saying that it's not in the supported device list even though I am using an nrf52840 DK 

I'm sorry but I'm very confused at the moment. Are you working on the nRF9160DK or the nRF52840DK?

What application are you trying to program and how are you building and programming this application?

Please link to these instructions so that I can understand what instructions you are following. 

Thank you!

Oh, the instructions were just, to switch to nrf52DK from the program debug switch swf10, to use the board as nrf52840DK instead of nrf9160DK, so I switched to nrf52 on the board and thought the ble would work but it just says that the nrf52 is not in the list of supported devices and Bluetooth doesn't work. I am just trying to get the board to detect devices for now, that's all. 

Can you please provide what instructions you are following?
