https://devzone.nordicsemi.com/f/nordic-q-a/105137/contents-of-development-kit-and-programming-loose-chipsI am curious about if a segger J-link cord comes with the DK for programming. I would like to use the nrf52840 chips as the microcontroller in a strain gauge reader device but I wouldn&#39;t have any way to program it.

Though there is a programmer on it, that can be used to program other boards as well. I assume using that and maybe the SWD interface might be the cheapest option for you. Altenatively you can get a 10 pin JTAG SWD connector on your board and simply use a 10 pin cable to program, that would probably be the easiest to work with later on.</p> <p><span>For more info on this option you can see <a href="https://infocenter.nordicsemi.com/topic/ug_nrf52840_dk/UG/dk/hw_debug_out.html">here</a> or search around on DevZone. <a href="https://devzone.nordicsemi.com/f/nordic-q-a/64261/programming-debugging-external-custom-nrf52840-boards-using-nrf52840-dk">There are a few cases about it.</a></span></p> <p><span>Regards,</span></p> <p><span>Elfving</span></p> <p><span></span></p><div style="clear:both;"></div>
