Loading a new firmware in a NRF51822 PCBA through NRF51DK

[fercholas]

It is possible to load a new firmware in a NRF51822 PCBA using the Nordic Development Kit NRF51DK?

Do I need a special connector?

This is the beacon Module I pretend to use:

Thanks in advance!

Thanks shraken! Do you think this module will work in the same way?

Are those connections at the bottom labelled 'CLK' and 'DO' the SWD interface? If so then you can use that to program it, if it's something else then not. I'd suggest getting a proper circuit diagram from the seller before buying one.

Hi,

See this blogpost for an introduction to programming external devices with the nRF5 DK. The video is especially useful.

You can find a list of 3rd party modules here.

Best regards,
