how can i burn my code on my new layout board with nrf52832, while i devepole my program on arduino primo?

[TTN]

Hi,

I develop a program using arduino primo, and i want to layout a new pcb board with new nrf52832 chip. The new chip may not have any bootloader. What kind of method can i use to upload the code, and make the board work?

The arduino primo core have SWD interface, but the nrf chip have bootloader, right? So i think there may have some solution to deal with may problem.

This link shows you how you can program an Arduino Primo Core from an Arduino Primo. Might be possible to use this to program the custom nrf52832 board. If you are an experienced programmer, you might be able to get this to work.

If you are not that experienced, you will need to use a Segger J-Link, as found on the nrf51/52 Dev Kits, or a standalone J-Link, like the Segger J-Link EDU version (this version or this version). The EDU version is not too expensive and I believe you are allowed to use it if your project is not a commercial endeavor. If I were you, I would use an nrf52 dev kit, as they are not too expensive & you can program cool applications on it at a later date.

In addition, if you program via the nrf51/52 dk, you will be able to get great support on this forum. I do not believe many people have a lot of experience with programming a custom nrf52832 board using an Arduino Primo. It could be possible to achieve this, but you will most likely spend a few hours getting it to work. You could ask around on the Arduino forum and see if they can help you further. With a J-Link, it is much easier. Just my honest opinion.

Yes,i'll try asking in the arduino forum or nrf52 dev kit. Thanks for your reply :)
