You can read out the program application using nRFgo Studio and then compare the hex files. That is the only solution I can think of.

Hello MartinBL, I am working on a custom board for an employer. The main components of the board are a nRF51822, a GPS, & a Cellular Engine. The reason I wanted to see source code is because the engineer that wrote the code is no longer with the company. I have some of his old code but am unsure whether it is the code on the board. So is there any way to verify the code? Thanks.

Hi. If I understand you correctly you would like to read out and analyze the binary code residing in your chip. It is possible do this e.g. by using nRFgo Studio and some sort of debugger, but to get some sense out of the binary file is virtually impossible unless you are an expert in the field. And if the manufacturer of your board has decided to block the code from read out it actually is impossible.

So I would suggest you look for the source code somewhere online in stead. What board are you using? And what is your project?
