Is it possible to use SDK tools without evaluation/development kit?

[Pedro]

Hello, i would like to know if its possible to use your SDK tools (S110 Soft Device, nRF51 SDK) without your evaluation/development kit. Since RFduino has a RF51822 chip, i would like to know if I can use your SDK directly (connecting the PC to the module by USB/BLE) to create and use a custom profile on the chip.

Thanks in advance

Thanks for your reply. So, assuming that I dont need a debugger, can I program my applications/configurations or the S110 Software Stack into the nRF51822 through nRFgo Studio with just a generic USB to UART bridge (like FT231X, which is present on RFduino) or it is mandatory to have any Segger hardware (like in your development dongle) to program/erase?

A new softdevice can only be flashed using a Segger, unless the RFduino guys have done something very clever. If so, I assume you'll also have to get the new release from them and not flash a hex-file you get from us, since they will have to have done some changes to it.
