nRF52832 with on-board JTAG programmer

[nataddrho]

After 9 years of work I have finally finished my product and it is FCC and EU certified, and ready for a pilot production run.

I would like to copy and paste my PCB design onto a large area to make a evaluation board. This will be a useful tool in future debugging and development.

I'd like to include a micro-USB header and a JTAG chipset, so that I can connect it directly to my computer for debugging, rather than use a third party tool like Segger or a Nordic dev board.

Is there a modern recommendation for this? Is this possible with out much effort? I am looking for a quick drop-in component solution. Or is it easiest to just epoxy a Segger J-Link EDU mini to my board and forget about an elegant solution?

Thanks

I recommend to contact SEGGER direcly, you would need a J-Link license anyway.

There are non-JLink alternatives, but these will require different tooling (OpenOCD or others). Dropping in an FT2232 chip is probably simpler compared to an NRF5340 (which is on newer Nordic DKs).
