How to program NRF52840 with NRF52840-DK

[fshaikh]

Hi, 

I am building a custom PCB and want to program a NRF52840 (nRF52840-QFAA-F-R7 package) using the NRF52840-DK. 

I have exposed the SWD pins (SWDIO, SWDCLK, SWO, NRESET) and want to know what other connections or software is needed to get started. 

I am assuming i would use the NRF Connect SDK on VS Code, and adjust the device tree to the correct schematic and layout correct?

Can someone help me with these steps?
