Is it possibe to upgrade nRF52-DK on board programmer to program nRF52840?  I already have this nRF52DK but in final I found that 52840 will be better choise for my proyect, is it possible to upgrade onboard programmer for programming this chip? If yes, how can I do that?

It should be able to program any nRF52 or 51 chip.

Note that it only works for 3V targets.

So, surely, the obvious thing is to get an nRF52840 DK ?

The easy way is to get RF52840 DK, but I thing the programmer will be the same on board just with different preprogrammed loader.

But if you're developing for a different chip, you really should have the DevKit for that chip - why make life difficult for yourself?

As startup rule we are trying to save resources when possible :)

Go on. The time you've already wasted faffing about with this has probably cost you more than the price of a Dev Kit!
