Programming different nRF51822 boards

[John Kolovson]

Hi, student here, so go easy if you can :)

I have successfully programmed the evaluation kit and development with the softdevice and loaded my app on.

Now I am trying to work with some boards that I ordered online. One is a breakout board

and other is a 3rd party bluetooth module listed here www.nordicsemi.com/.../3rd-Party-Bluetooth-low-energy-Modules The module I am using is the PTR5518

I have the J-LINK LITE CortexM and the J Link Edu.

I am not sure where to start to program those two boards. Where do I start ?

Thank you!

Thank you for that link.

As for my own setup, I soldered a series of thin wires to each contact, routed them through the holes in some perfboard, soldered the other side to a header, and hot-glued everything in place. It's very ugly, but it works and it's secure.

However, it was enough work that the module you linked to is probably preferable (plus it has all the GPIOs, it looks like).
