How to burn bootloader and flash program to a NRF52 PCB?

[Sri_guy]

Hi,

I am developing a printed circuit board for myself using a NRF52 and I am unsure how to actually burn a bootloader program to the NRF52. Additionally, once the bootloader is burned, how does one flash a program. How does this work with S132 softdevice? I am also going to be using bluetooth applications for my device.

A little background: I am using a NRF52 to connect to an MPU6050 gyroscope/accelerator using the TWI interface and then sending the data over Bluetooth to an iPhone mobile application.

Thank you.

Hi,

You can find information about Production programming and testing in the nRF5 Getting Started chapter on the infocenter.

If you have exposed the SWD interface on your PCB, you can program the chip using an external SEGGER J-Link programmer/debugger and nrfjprog. Pin assignment for SWDIO and SWDCLK for the different packages of nRF52832 can be found here.

Best regards,

Jørgen
