    I am confused by this screen shot. The headline says circuitpython and nrf52840. But your windows folder says micropython. Thats different from circuitpython. And it says esp32s3, not nrf52840. Ok. You…

    Looks like you haven't installed the nrfjprog properly. Do you have the Circuitpython binary with you?
    Download and install https://www.nordicsemi.com/Products/Development-tools/nRF-Command-Line-Tools/Download

    Then try. If it doesn't work for you ( I can't think of any reason) Then you can flash it using JLink software directly.

    You must be having the CircuitPython binary right! From your message what I understood is that you need help loading it to the board.
    Can you explain what exactly you are trying to do?
    If you are an absolute beginner then follow the instructions given the link:
    https://circuitpython.org/board/pca10056/

    you can program it by

    nrfjprog -f NRF52 --program pca10056_bootloader-0.8.3_s140_6.1.1.hex --verify --reset

    make sure you have installed nrfjprog installed

    I am not a windows user! Dont know how to help you with that. But I would strongly recommend you to do the following things

    1) Unistall the nRF Command Line Tools
    2) Check which version of windows OS you are using (32/64)
    3) Download the nRF Command Line Tools by checking the correct OS version
    4) Install the nRF Command Line Tools

    Your error message suggests a DLL failed to load. This appears to be an issue with your tools installation. You could try another board, but it doesn't sound like a board issue.

    If you've followed the install instructions to the letter, and it doesn't work, it's worth raising a problem report with the developers.

    Unfortunately no. You should try to follow any official instructions. If that doesn't work, discuss with the owner (for instance, if it is on GitHub, you can raise an issue). If it is on a manufacturer download page, then raise an issue with their tech support (or their discussion forum, since they may know what the issue is).

    Also, there seems to be some issue with the screenshot, a discrepancy regarding MicroPython and ESP32, compared to what would be expected (see the comment from mp2100 above).
