   Thanks @raiden00pl for this great feature! :-)
   
   I was not able to test it though.. looks like some changes were made in the toolset of the Nordic and they do not go full Open-Source anymore? If you are focused on that device there may be some improvements noted below :-)
   
   * Our help page [1] states that flashing is not possible without a debug probe. This could be done over DFU with `nrfutil` [2] [3].. at least not that long ago.. when dongle is plugged to USB port RESET switches it to DFU mode :-)
   * Nordic abandoned development of the Open-Source utility `nrfutil` [3] that allowed DFU images generation at version 6. The repository if marked frozen and obsolete, utility does not work anymore on Python 3.8 and 3.9. Even worse they switched to a new utility `nrfutil` with the same name version 7 that is NOT Open-Source anymore (see comments in [4]) :-(
   * Are you familiar with the toolset and do you think that DFU image generation is still possible? We can open a separate ticket for that. It would be a great feature for NuttX to quickly flash this device with no debug probes and cables attached. Especially that we will have Console over USB with Your patch :-)
