It is really free, the only limitation is that the target device must be from Nordic Semiconductor.

Is it really free unlimited or free up to 32KB like the KEIL?

Hi,

An alternative could be to use Segger Embedded Studio which is free (as in beer) for all development where a nRFx is the target device. This is cross platform, and runs on MacOS as well as Windows and Linux. However, you will need a Segger debugger (or simply a nRF5x DK which has a "Debug out" port) to get debugging and programming working.

I have not used the ST-Link so can't say much about it. You can search the forum for it. There are people who have tried it. You'll need to use OpenOCD to flash it. There are section in blog that shows you how to use OpenOCD to flash nRF chip. Alternatively you can use the IDAP-Link CMSIS-DAP to flash the nRF5 series. It comes with special software for flashing.

Thanks for the answer Nguyen! It is really helpful for the start but I still have the problem that I can't flash the program in the nRF51 chip, maybe can you give me some idea about how it must be done?

Thanks again!! 🙂

You can get started with this blog about Eclipse GCC with nRF51 & nRF52 development. It's not ST-Link but it's a start for Eclipse on OSX.
