Wired vs OTA programming interfaces.

[SergP]

I would like to understand when I would need a wired programming (with help of TC2030 connector) interface and when I would need OTA. I am trying to find the easiest and fastest way to program The Beacon Kit (nrf51822) with the softdevice (and bootloader?) I need and the application I need, what would you recommend for this task - wired programming interface or OTA? My understanding is: if I use the TC2030 connector then I would also be able to print out debug messages while my beacon kit based application is running, is that correct assumption?

Hi

You may benefit from looking at these three threads:

• Thread 1

• Thread 2

• Thread 3

Once you have the programmer/debugger connected to the Beacon kit, you are able to debug.
