How to program custom board with nrf52811

[RafaelAguiar]

Hi guys

I ve made a custom board using the nrf52811 SoC,and now i want to program it for testing.

The thing is i am really lost on what to do, this is the first time tinkering with embedded systems.

I am planing to program the board with j link, basically i want to send my program via usb to j link and from j link to my board.

But i just dont know how to do it.

Any help will be much apreciated .

the very same way as with a dev board. jlink programmer will be detected in either SES or VS Code with your board attached so you can program it the same way you do with dev kit.

I have never used a dev board also..

My question is how to send the program to jlink/dev board

When im using an arduino e just press the buton to send de code

Its more or less the same with Nordic - here is a video: www.nordicsemi.com/.../GetStarted

Hi,

If you're using a stand-alone J-link debugger then you have to connect the J-link to the SWD interface on your custom board. The SWD interface consists of SWDIO, SWDCLK, VCC and alternatively the RESET pin. These pins has to be routed out on your custom board. You also need to supply your customer board as the J-link debugger will not do this. After connecting the J-link interface, you can use either use an IDE such as SES or program your hex file with nRF Command Line Tools.

RafaelAguiar , as Jared mentioned you will need programmer such as this one: shop.segger.com/.../j-link-base
