How to program custom PCB uisng SWCLK AND SWDIO TEST PINS

Hello Everyone,

I have deveoped my custom Board using(NRF51) which has four test pins VCC GND SWCLK,SWDIO. I would like to program the custom board. So could anyone tell me some safe methods to load the software on the PCB? Previously i have used NRF51DK and USB cable JLINK to flash the software on the development board, but i reckon to use only SWCLK AND SWDIO pins to flash the custom PCB. What are the methods I should follow to flash the softdevice110 and the .hex file? Please suggest me some possible methods to flash the custom PCB. It would be really helpful for me. Do I need to connect like in this picture? Please correct me if i am wrong.

  • Almost - right connections but not the best connector. P20 is debug out but it's the one for a connected shield. What you really want to connect to is P19, which is the real debug out. I suppose, if the pins on P20 are easier to connect to than the P19 .5" pitch debug out connector you can use them, but it's probably better to use P19 if you can. I use a breakout adaptor which makes patching that connector to just about anything fairly easy.

  • could you tell me how can i check the putty terminal (serial emulator to see the funvtionality of NRF51 custom board because previously i have used NRF51DK to test the sfotware it works fine but now i would like to check each and every functions of the custom board by using putty terminal (UART) using printf statements could you suggest what would be best methods to follow inorder to check the output
