Mark, thanks for the great article. Is there an option to enter the buttonless DFU mode using ncs. As my custom board nRF52840 don't have any buttons.

Using wmic path Win32_SerialPort Get Caption to see the USB device no longer appears to work as shown in Step 29. However, the device manager still presents the Generic Bluetooth Adapter with a warning indication.

More specifically, the following error message shows up when I try to perform step number 7

Thanks for the great article. Unfortunately, I was not able to make this work on 1.4.2. Is there any update on the steps that I need to perform in order to make the same work for a newer version of NRF Connect Toolchain?

There is no native Bluetooth HCI Drive within Windows. However, the device will appear in Device Manager as a failed Bluetooth->Generic Bluetooth Adapter.
