Programming nRF51422 externally

[Ehsan]

I want to make a PCB with the nRF51422 chip on it. Is there a way of programming it externally using the nRF51-DK? If so, what connections do I need between the PCB and the DK?

Regards, Ehsan.

Hi,

You can use the debug out port (P19 or P20) on the DK to program external devices. There are many questions about this here on DevZone. You can get more information in this video tutorial.

Best regards,

Jørgen

Also, I have a program that reads the voltage value from a capacitive sensor (connected to an analogue input pin on the nRF51-DK) and displays the value on PuTTY using a UART connection. How would I do the same with my PCB with the nRF51422 chip on it?

@Ehsan - you should ask separate question for that, but the answer is simple - you do it the same as on nrf51-dk.
