Hi Guillaume,

your nRF51822 EK v2.1 uses a nRF51822 revision 2 IC, see this compatibility matrix.

This means that your board is only compatible with SDK v6.1 or older, see this compatibility matrix.

As for you error, you have to make sure that you erase the board using nRFGo Studio or nrfjprog -f nrf51 --eraseall, before you flash it with the application.

I'm afraid these boards are not supported in Nordic SDK for many years now. The easiest thing is to buy new DK for $40 and you are fine. If you insist on these old DKs then you first need to make sure what chip revision is on it (there are 3 major revisions of nRF51 silicon and e.g. the first one has several major limitations which makes it basically incompatible with all newer Nordic BLE stacks aka Sodft Devices...). Then you should be able to modify examples for nRF51 DK (PCA10028) to match your chip revision, memory sizes and PIN layout... Also the error message from J-Link suggests you have different issues then just incompatibility of HW and SW but it's very hard to say just like that... do you use nRFgo Studio or nrfjprog? Give it a try to just erase the chip for start and load any nRF51 HEX file from SDK...
