applications using the nRF52840 SoC.

The development kit comes with a fully integrated debugger (also known as
DAPLink) that provides USB drag-and-drop programming, USB Virtual COM port
and CMSIS-DAP interface.

The kit contains a Microchip USB 2.0 Hi-Speed hub controller with two downstream
ports: one for DAPLink interface and one for nRF52840 USB device controller.
The kit also features ultra-low power 64-Mb QSPI FLASH memory, programmable
user button, RGB LED, up to 24 GPIOs, antenna selection for custom applications.
