Master Emulator HW requirements

ned_zeppelin

I was wondering if the Master Emulator API requires the Segger IC on the nRF51 Dongle (PCA10031) to work? Or is this just used for programming the nrf-device via USB?

The reason I ask is that it would be interesting to make a custom PCB based on the nrf51 dongle (but without the rather expensive Segger chip) that would be compatible with the Master Emulator API.

    In order to be compatible with Master Emulator the only hard requirement is that the nRF51 UART is made available as a virtual serial port on the PC. Be aware that the JLink OB has firmware that is tuned to handle the UART flow control of nRF51. By connecting to a device that is not a JLink device the Master Emulator API will not be able to do a reset of the chip, however this is an optional feature.
