Production of nRF51822 Devices

Hello all,

I have a few questions about the best way to go about mass producing nRF51822-based devices.

  1. Can anyone recommend a manufacturer that possesses the appropriate equipment to mass-program the chip? This thread kind of makes it sound like we might need to build our own rig.

  2. Is there any recommended best-practise for production testing Bluetooth devices?

Thanks for your feedback :)

  • The act of programming and then reading out a chip are not necessary. Nordic provides a mergehex utility that can be used to combine all 3 builds (soft device, app, and bootloader) into a single hex file that can be used for production. If you add the mergehex commands as a post build step you can even automate creation of a combined hex file for production.
