You need to use nRFgo Studio Nordic software.

Hi, As I mentioned above I have no starter kit motherboard and I just want to flash softdevice in Keil. I think nRFgo Studio will not work without starter kit motherboard.

Hi, if you have this DK http://www.nordicsemi.com/eng/Products/Bluetooth-R-low-energy/nRF51822-Development-Kit you can connect the Segger to the nRF PCB and to your PC, then open nRFgo Studio, select the discovered chip (through Segger) and upload the soft device downloaded separately on the Nordic web site.

I just did this last week. What Sebastien is saying is correct. Just make sure to supply power to your DK board. The segger debug wont power anything, just programs.
