Flashign on a custom PCB board

Hello folks

I have a custom PCB board with the attached layout diagram. I also have our firmware that was flashed on to the Nordic beacon kit and tested. I would like to flash the same on to the custom PCB board with attached drawing. Any help would be useful

  • @prasanna: I can't say for sure if it works because I don't have the schematic. But you can try to connect the SWD programmer to your board as follow: The left is the pin on the board, the right is the pin on the programmer.

    G -> GND

    V -> VDD (you should provide 3.3V to this pin as well, or just put the battery in.)

    D -> SWDIO

    C -> SWDCLK.

  • Thanks. Can i ask you to point out how this connection is actually made. I am a software programmer with very little knowledge about electrical components of the PCB. I would appreciate a dummy's guide to these connections. From whatever i have read from other posts i am assuming that i can connect the external PCB to the nrf51822 Development Kit. I actually did that with the beacon kit from Nordic and it worked perfectly fine. That was done using a cable from tag-connect. I am a bit confused on how to make the connection with this new board i have.
