Is it possible to use MK20 to program Raytac's MDBT40

[Stanislav Silnitskiy]

Hello! For beginning with nRF51 I chose BLE Nano set of boards (BLE Nano + MK20 USB donbgle) and it was of great help to easily begin with BLE. So far, we came to the need of custom design with options to use Raytac's modules or print own PCB. Either way requires a programming tool, and the subject question comes to the scene. We also plan to use nRF52 due to intensive floating point operation, so I'd be happy to consider this SoC as well.

Yes you can. MK20 can program any cortex-m device.

Hi Stanilslav, Props for figuring that out! I also want to do what you did... I am using the Arduino IDE and the BLE Nano/MK 20 so far. I plan to use the MDBT40 going forward on my custom board. What else do I need to get it working? Just a piece of software (OpenOCD) ? Does that also talk to the MDBT40 through the MK20? Do I need any additional hardware? Thanks!
