As you say, the production tool (second option) is used to program a file generated with "Store configuration to file" (first option). There is no additional hardware examples; just hook up the UART in some way you see fit.

I'd also be glad if you could accept my initial reply, by clicking the "Accept as answer" button below it, since I believe it covers the original question here. :-)

One last question... which programming tool is that you say? In the nRFgo studio, there are two options: "Store configuration to file" (this is where we can save the source code?) and "Get source code for production tool" (here we can load the source code saved with the previous option?). ¿is there any additional hardware tool, other than nRF80002DK, to load in the custom board the source code?

Thanks.

This is the recommended way for all volumes.

Understood. What about a large production? Will the same method apply or is there a more efficient alternative for high volumes, let's same 1000? 10000?

I'm not sure what you try to ask. You'll probably need some kind of level shifting between the nRF8002 and your PC, for which you can for example use the level shifter on the motherboard, at least to test the setup. By connecting the pins I say from the motherboard to a custom board with the nRF8002, you should be able to use the programming tool to program it.

Hello, do you have an example of the nRF8002 being hooked up to a "PC Board"? Thank you.

This is what the production programming tool is meant to be used for. On the programming tab, you can find a button that will give you source code for the tool, and also a way to save a setup in such way that it can be used with the tool.

When using this tool, you just have to make sure that you have some way to hook up VDD, GND and UART TX/RX from a PC to a board with your nRF8002.
