Hi,

You can use the SWD interface onboard the nRF52 DK to program an external nRF52 device. You can find more information in this blogpost, the video in particular is very useful.

Best regards,

Dear Mr. Karlsen,

Thank you for your soonest feedback!!!

If I plan to use nRF52832 Bluetooth Soc chip in my end application,then how to do debug and programming for this Bluetooth SoC.Previously I though to use USB to UART bridge for debugging and programming but now thinking for wireless charging option,so I need your support for programming of the bluetooth chip. Could you please share the detail information or link for reading and getting know how to do application programming and programming of the Chip through Keil.

Appreciate the great support!!!

Thanks and Warm Regards Dinesh Katkar

Hi,

On the development kit we have an interface MCU is used to program and debug the chip, this is not needed in a final design.

The cortex M4F processor is a powerful MCU that can do a wide range of tasks and is suited well for wearables. You must evaluate if the processing power is enoguh for your specific application.

Best regards,
