This video tutorial should give you an idea. Yes, you can use nRF51 DK to program nRF52 boards.

Thank you. Could you let me know the guide to use nRF52 DK as J-Link?

I'm not much a HW engineer.

Hi,

From the price, I highly doubt that these are genuine J-Links. You will most likely experience issues with using them. I would recommend getting a nRF52 DK, which includes a genuine J-Link OB debugger, that can be used for programming any nRF5x chips and boards. Then you also get a great development board for your projects.

Best regards,

Jørgen
