Sorry, it's nRF DKs. Yes, using the JLink is the better solution. Thanks for your help.

As already noted: Yes, it should be possible - but whether it's a good idea is an entirely different matter!

As I said, using a DK is easier and gives you more.

With the onboard JLink on the DK, you also get an evaluation licence to use Monitor Mode Debug.

Hi awneil,

I have been using the nrj Dks for development and testing. I came across this link : https://devzone.nordicsemi.com/f/nordic-q-a/30218/how-can-i-program-nrf82832-or-nrf82840-chip on devzone and it mentions that any programmer with SWD can be used for programming, I was curious to see if I can use pickit4.

Regards,

Sunil

Presumably, you're asking because you already have the PICkit4 ?

Yes, it should be possible to do programming - but you're going to have to figure out how to make that work.

It's unlikely to work with any of the Nordic tools, and certainly won't work with SES.

Also unlikely that you'll get it to do any useful debugging.

And there'll be no support.

Would it not be easier to just use an nRF52 Dev Kit - which has an onboard JLink ... ?

You can try OpenOCD with that. If it works, then you're ok. If not you can try this jtag. It's work with nRF5x series. https://www.tindie.com/products/hnhoan/cmsis-dap-arm-debug-jtagswd-microsd-drag-drop/
