| 1. Click **Select device** and select the appropriate debug probe entry from the drop-down list.<br/> | ||
| The icon text changes to board name and the ID of the selected device, and the **Device memory layout** section indicates that the device is connected.<br/> | ||
| For example, you can identify the nRF5340 DK by its PCA number PCA10095 and its ID that is printed on the label sticker on the DK. | ||
|
|
||
| !!! note "Note" | ||
| If the nRF5340 DK does not show up in the drop-down list, press Ctrl-R in Windows or command-R in macOS to restart the {{app_name}}. | ||

| 1. Click **Add file** in the **FILE** section, and select **Browse**.<br/> | ||
| A file explorer window appears. | ||
| 1. Navigate to the folder with the application firmware in the HEX format.<br/> | ||
| If you are programming the precompiled application firmware from the [Nordic Thingy:91 X Downloads](https://www.nordicsemi.com/Products/Development-hardware/Nordic-Thingy-91-X/Download?lang=en#infotabs), make sure to unzip the downloaded file and then open the ``img_app_bl`` folder inside. | ||
| 1. Open the folder for the application that you want to transfer to the Nordic Thingy:91 X. | ||
| 1. Select the corresponding HEX file to be used with the debug probe and click **Open**.<br/> | ||
| The HEX file appears in the **File memory layout** section. | ||
| 1. Click **Erase & write** in the **DEVICE** section of the side panel. | ||
|
|
||
| The update is complete when the animation in the {{app_name}}'s **Device memory layout** section ends. |
