Is it possible to program nrf51dk without the usb cable?

benjaminpeere

Hello everyone,

My usb connector is dead on my nrf51 dk, do you know if it is possible to program it without using the usb connector, maybe by using a USB serial port adapter? (I don't know how it would work so if you have any idea).

Thanks for your suggestions.

Best regards.

    Hi,

    You do need a functioning USB connection in order to use the on-board programmer MCU for programming the nRF.

    If you have a second DK then you can use that one for programming instead, by using the "Debug out" port on the working DK and connect to the "Debug in" port on the one without functioning USB.

    Also if you have a J-Link programmer you should be able to connect that one.

    I refer to the nRF51 DK user guide for details on the various options.

    Regads,
    Terje
