Getting started with nRF51922 and nRFgo - tutorial?

Hi - I am completely lost and I'm really hoping someone can point me in the right direction. I'm simply trying to get started with the nRF51922 development kit and nRFgo Motherboard. When I plug in the nRFgo Motherboard with the nRFgo nRF6821 (nRF51922-QFAA development kit module) and launch nRFgo Studio I get a notification:

The firmware on board 0 is older than the current version. It should be updated to assure correct functionality. Do this by pressing the OK button

When I do so, it goes through an "updating" process, but then the Log says "Could not start the bootloader on the nRF6310 Please toggle power of board 0 to reset it". So I toggle power and I'm in a vicious cycle, it never allows me to connect.

If I click cancel instead of OK, I see Module - UNKNOWN MODULE under Board 0 in the nRFgo Studio "Device Manager".

I'm trying to follow the "Creating Applications with the Keil C51 C Compiler" tutorial, but I'm blocked by the step above. I'm not even sure if this where I need to go to start? My goal at this stage is simply to be able to write something like the canonical "Hello World" and program it onto the development module.

How do I get the nRFgo studio to see my nRF51922 development module?

Thank you!
