nRF51822 reference for programming in production

[joshjack]

I'm designing a board using the nRF51822 and leaving test points on the PCB for the programming/debug lines so the chip can be programmed after PCB fab. Are there any reference designs (both hardware and software) for a programming dongle and simple programming tool that I could control programmatically?

I've just completed our first "pogo pin" programming jig. We leave six plated pads on our PCBs (vREF, GND, SWDCLK, SWDIO, DEBUG_TX, DEBUG_RX) and the pogo pin bed rest on them. Works fairly well.

Do read the thread Ole linked above and chime in on your thoughts or comments.
