Overview
The Nano v2 is a development board equipped with Nordic's next generation nRF52832 Bluetooth Low Energy SOC. This board was designed as a 'drop-in' replacement of BLE Nano with exactly the same form factor.
Hardware

The DAPLink USB board acts as a dongle. DAPLink debug probes appear on the host computer as a USB disk. It also regulates 5V from USB to 3.3V via the onboard LDO to power Nano v2.
Programming and Debugging
.. zephyr:board-supported-runners::
Applications for the nrf52_blenano2 board configuration can be built and
flashed in the usual way (see :ref:build_an_application and
:ref:application_run for more details).
To flash an application, you'll need to connect your BLE Nano 2 with the DAPLink board, then attach that to your computer via USB.
.. warning::
Be careful to mount the BLE Nano 2 correctly! The side of the board with the VIN and GND pins should face towards the USB connector.
Now build and flash applications as usual. Here is an example for the
:zephyr:code-sample:hello_world application.

After mounting the BLE Nano 2 on its DAPLink board as described above,
you can debug an application in the usual way. Here is an example for
the :zephyr:code-sample:hello_world application.
