Production of nRF51822 Devices

[Anne]

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 :)

There are companies that are able to supply you with programming a large number of chips. Some of our customers do this before they mount the chips on the PCB, while most of them actually do the programming in circuit. Alternatively is that you do it yourself by either using the Segger flasher tool mention earlier or for example a gang programmer from Elnec.

I would recommend you to contact your distributor or Nordic sales personnel in your region as they may have more specific recommendation based on what's available in you area. If you don't know who's you Nordic sales representative, then send me a PM here with your location and I'll patch you through.
