Flashing nRF52810 after production

[Yaniv Reibenbach]

Hello,

We are preparing for production of our nRF52810 based device and I would like to know what would be the most common way to flash our software(app/BLE stack) after SMT/production process.

* I am not asking about testing of the device, just flashing the software! Obviosly we will be using some type of pins .

In you answer kindly include: 

- Refrence to Flash pins design file (schematics and perfhaps full design)

- Segger device and module or alternative

Kindly advice,

Yaniv

The most common way to flash boards are some kind of parallell programmer, typically a SEGGER Flasher ATE. 

We do not have a reference design for programming pins. I suggest you use a TC2030 footprint as it will allow you to easily reprogram a board at a later stage.

I saw that in the Reference design you have Debug Out pins, can these be used to flash devices?(instead of a SEGGER Flasher that is)

Our nRF52DK can program and debug external nRF52810s. The external board needs to interface with SWDIO, SWDCLK, VDD, GND, and optionally nRESET.
