Using PPK with external J-Link, where to get the software?

Question

Hello, 
 I have just got a brand new PPK board, and would like to use it with an external J-Link. As far as I could tell by reading the documentation , this scenario is not yet supported by the nRF Connect app, so I would need to use the Python-based PPK software. However, I couldn't find where to download this software, with the link pointed out in the guide leading to a 404 page . 
 Where can I find the latest Python-based PPK software? 
 Will this scenario be supported in nRF Connect any time soon?

Here are my findings: 
 1. The latest Python-based PPK software can be downloaded from this page . I couldn't get it to work reliably (tried both Python 2.7 and 3.4). Don't waste your time 
 2. There is some support in nRF Connect already - you just have to use their development version from GitHub . This is pretty straightforward to setup (just follow the instructions in the README) and seems to work pretty well. You can find additional details inside the relevant GitHub issue . TL;DR - Use nRF Connect PPK app from GitHub
