nRF51822 SWD Parallel Programming

[wimi]

Hi, for Mass Production I have to flash 24 nRF51822 in parallel. Did Anybody something similar before? What mass production programming equipment have you used? Thanks, Michael

@Michael: You can have a look at suggestion number 2 in this answer by Ole Morten: https://devzone.nordicsemi.com/question/1767/how-are-you-going-about-production-programming-for-nrf51-parts/

If you plan to program the chip when it's already onboard, could be that you have to connect several Jlink programmer to a PC .

Have a look here parallel programming using multi-boards on OS X or Windows at a fraction of the price of one JLink. The IDAP-Link/M works instantly with Keil and other IDE, no drivers to install.

Thanks for your comments! At the end we'll most probably use: http://www.smh-tech.com/products/flashrunner-cube.html We'll implement 3 of them in the test fixture to guarantee real gang programming of all 24 boards in the panel. We just have to invest in the programming algorithm since the nRF51822 is currently not supported.

Pre-programming could be an option for you in production. Please check the blog 'Programming services, HI-LO Electronics in corporation with Nordic Semiconductor AS' for more info.
