Hi,

If you see the serial number of your J-Link debugger printed using "nrfjprog -i", then your PC does see it, and everything seems in order. It should appear as a removable drive as well, but that does not really matter. You will probably want to program via some other tools, for instance directly from your IDE or using nrfjprog.

Yes I have connected J-Link debugger and I got output that is written on my J-Link debugger when I write ''nrfjprog -i''. But still my PC does not see. What should I do?

Have you connected a DK or a J-Link debugger to your PC? If so you should see it. Do you get any output if you write "nrfjprog -i"?

Thanks for answer.

I installed Keil MDK, nRF Command line tools and nRF Connect for desktop. I am following your advice and I started with SDK Gertting started guide. I want to try Blinking Example. I followed all directions at the https://infocenter.nordicsemi.com/index.jsp?topic=%2Fcom.nordic.infocenter.sdk5.v12.3.0%2Fgetting_started_precompiled.html but My computer does not appear as a removable drive drive named J Link. So How can I solve that?

Hi,

[quote user=""]1) My duty is getting contact that two nRF51822 modules. Which IDE is better than the others? [/quote]

I suggest you test with Keil µVision first, as that is user-friendly, and the SDK provides Keil projects. Note that the free Keil version only works with applications smaller than 32 kB, but that might be enough.

[quote user=""]2) Is there any software I got to use except from IDE? [/quote]

The latest SDK that supports the nRF51 is SDK 12.3, so I recommend you use that. You can download it here and find the documentation here. You should also install nRF Command line tools and nRF Connect for desktop.

The best example for getting started communication between two nRF51 devices is probably to put the BLE UART (NUS) central example on one device, and the corresponding peripheral example on the other device.

I recommend you start by going through the SDK Getting started guide.
