Initial Programming for nRF52832 on custom board

[Alexandria McKie]

Hi,

I am looking to perform programming on a nRF52832 on a custom PCB. So far I am planning to use an SWD connection with my nRF52DK to upload my application.

1. I was wondering if the nRF52832 comes with the softdevice132 and bootloader already programmed? 

If not, where can I find the correct bootloader projects?

2. Also, please advise if this would be the best script to do the upload:

nrfjprog --eraseall
// Flash the softdevice first
nrfjprog -f NRF52 --program file.hex --verify
// Next, flash the bootloader the same as above
// Next, flash the application the same as above

Thank you Jonathan!

I am using SDK_17.0.2.

I have been able to find some projects in: ...\nRF5_SDK_17.0.2_d674dde\examples\dfu\secure_bootloader

Is this along the right track?

Yes this is a good place to start.

You can always ask more question here on Devzone if you have any issues, but I also advise you to do a quick search on Devzone also as the question you have might have been answered already. We are currently in holiday season until week 31 so some delays in response time can\will happen, pardon the inconvenience.
