nRF51DK to program custom board

[TheGodPartycle]

i have the nRF51DK that comes with the Segger j-link programmer. Can i use the programmer on the board to program a custom board i purchased from Nordic preferred vendor? the module has the VCC, Ground, SWDIO and SWDCLK pins exposed.

are there any resources available that indicates how to program a custom board that uses nRF51822?

I dont't know about nRF51DK, but if the Segger J-Link is on-board probably you can't use it to program other boards; if the J-Link is a stand-alone piece you can for sure use it to program your custom boards;

When you want to program a custom board be careful to the Target Voltage: typically the J-Link sold within development kits is a cheaper one which works only for Target Voltages of 3.3V, so you will be unable to use it to program your custom board if your supply voltage is different form 3.3V;

UPDATE1: As others stated, the nRF51-DK board support external debugging-programming through the DEBUG-OUT" connector;

Anyway as i was suspecting, please note that the integrated Segger J-LINK only supports target volotages of 3.0V as specified into the nRF51-DK user guide 1.0: "Note: The voltage supported by external debugging/programming is 3.0V" pag.20
