How to program nRF51 DK for a new beginner

Jørgen Jenssen

Hello, I have 2 nRF51 DK PCA10028 models with 2 nRF51 DONGLE's.

First off, I am a student that is very interested in programming but teachers here can not teach me due to lack of knowladge.

So I was wondering if an USB cable is enought to program the nRF51 DK kit or if I need a JLink to upload project on it?.

Also, What is the best programming languege and software to use in nRF51 DK and is there any tutorial that is good for that software? I have tried keil so far, but I do not seem to find the nRF 51 in the software. So do I also have to purchase a JLink or is it any other way to program the nRF51 DK?

thanks for helping, : )

    1. you do not need any extra JLink hardware as JLink's Segger chip is also present onboard. What all you need is to download Segger's software which is free to download. Here you can download the software. 'C' is language we use for everything in SDK.

    2. Here you can download nRF51-UserGuide and find step by step instructions on how to download your first and most easiest example to understand.

    Download SDK which contains tons of examples, libraries and drivers that will help you get more knowledge on how to use this platform. You can also find a lot of information here

    Good luck with your learning and do not hesitate to ask us about anything you need to know more about.
