It works! I just feed my sparkFun board on 3v3, connect VDD to VTG, and SWDIO->D and SWDCLK->C .

I dont think so, because in the explanation given in the following link : infocenter.nordicsemi.com/index.jsp We explain that we can use one of the two connector (P19 or 20) to debug,and for the Debug out header (P19), the Interface MCU will detect the supply voltage on the mounted shield and program/debug the shield target. That's mean that there are not connected, no? otherwise, the VTG and GND Detect pins should also be connected to the external board? or other specific pins in the board?

P19 and P20 are connected to the same pins.

Should I use the debug out connector (P19) instead of Shield Debug and Current measurement Connector (P20) ?

@acha: nrfjprog programs our chips using SWD and not JTAG, thus you should be able to flash an external nR52 Board with the nRF52 DK using nrfjprog.

I am used to use the nrfjprog to flash the firmware! it didn't works, as I should program my board using swd instead of J-TAG, so i tried to following command :

JLinkExe -device nRF52 -speed auto -if SWD
J-Link>si SWD
loadfile _build/nrf52832_xxaa.hex

but it didn't work also :'(

I am assuming that you've also conencted VDD and ground as well, this should be indicated by the power led. Have you tried using nrfjprog(part of the nRF Commandline Tools, found here) to flash the firmware?

I connect the SWDIO and SWDCLK to respectively D and C pin in the SparkFun

Which pins on the nRF52832's Debug out(p19 or P20) have you connected to which pins on the SparkFun nRF52832 Breakout board?

yess, it'that

Ok, just checking that I understood this correctly: You are trying to program the SparkFun nRF52832 Breakout board using the nRF52 DK (PCA10040) ?

RE: blinking a led using programmer

I use a custom nRF52832 board, and I use the pca10040 debugger of this board to program the µcontroller in the Sparkfun, there a useful link: learn.sparkfun.com/.../nrf52832-breakout-board-hookup-guide

Can you provide a link to the programmer or any documentation on it? Are you working with a custom nRf52832 board, a nRF52 Module or our nRF52 DK?

it's a SoC that combines an ARM Cortex-M4F microprocessor, it provides access to all of the chip’s I/O pins. I use the blinky example of the sdk, and I set the led pin to the pin 7 (which corresponds to the LED in the sparkFun board.

What is a "SparkFun programmer"?

What example in the SDK is this?

An important point, I add theises definition in the makefile : CFLAGS += -DENABLE_DEBUG_LOG_SUPPORT

CFLAGS += -DNRF_LOG_USES_RTT=1

CFLAGS += -DENABLE_SWO
