Unable to program nrf52840dongle

I have just received nRF52840 dongle and I cannot get it programed. I have tried both west flash and nrfProgrammer from nrfConnect.

I have been developing using nrf52840dk so far, and I have no issue programming the dk.


In nrfProgrammer device comes as Unknown ( shown on attached nrf52840.png) I am attaching the log in a separate file  nrfProgrammer.log

west flash output:


-- west flash: using runner nrfjprog
FATAL ERROR: "nrfjprog --ids" did not find a board; is the board connected?






Do you have any suggestion on how can I program the dongle?
