To test the board for the first time, follow these steps:

The preloaded firmware is a BLE Heart Rate peripheral simulator.
To test the BLE Nano 2 or Blend 2 boards
- BLE Nano 2
  - DAPLink
    - Stack the BLE Nano 2 on the DAPLink USB dongle and connect to PC USB port.
  - ProtoBoard
    - If you want to try with coin cell battery (CR2032) with the Proto Board, stack the BLE Nano 2 correctly to the ProtoBoard.
- Blend 2
  - Connect it to your 5V USB adaptor or PC USB port using an USB DATA cable.
  - Note: Some USB cables are for charging only, no data lines inside.
You will see the onboard LED is flashing.
Use Nordic's iOS or Android Apps called nRFToolBox and use the HRM icon to connect to the board, the Heart Rate counter will be increasing every 1 second.
Congrats, your board works as expected.
