The IDAP-Link can used. It can flash softdevice + App + DFU all at once. It can also parallel program with multi-boards.

Hi,

For production programming we have a infocenter page here you should take a look at. We also have a more detailed whitepaper here.

Summarized:

You have two options when programming for production:

In-system programming (ISP): ISP is used when programming is needed after the assembly of the final PCB. Here we recommend using a SEGGER Production Programmer.
Socket programming: Socket programming is used when the SoC is pre-programmed before it's mounted on a PCB. Here we recommend using a production programmer from either Elnec or Hi-Lo systems.

Hi Roger - Thanks for your feedback. Since I mainly use Data I/O & BP Microsystems machines for all of my programming needs SWD programmers are new to me. Can you suggest a few names?

Thanks you very much.

Blank devices can only be programmed though their SWD interface.

So you need some sort of SWD programmer to do this

JLink is not the only SWD programmer, there are many others, some of which are open source.

Daniel - We are looking to program these devices in a standalone production manner. ie: Data I/O, Bp Micro, etc.

Thank you for the feedback. Stan Simon

A Segger J-Link programmer supports all these nRF devices. Just buy an nRF development kit, and use the on-board Segger J-link programmer on the DK. You can use the DK to program both the on-board nRF chip, and external nRF chips also! I recommend buying an nRF52-DK.

What about JLink ?
