Programming different nRF51822 boards

[John Kolovson]

Hi, student here, so go easy if you can :)

I have successfully programmed the evaluation kit and development with the softdevice and loaded my app on.

Now I am trying to work with some boards that I ordered online. One is a breakout board

and other is a 3rd party bluetooth module listed here www.nordicsemi.com/.../3rd-Party-Bluetooth-low-energy-Modules The module I am using is the PTR5518

I have the J-LINK LITE CortexM and the J Link Edu.

I am not sure where to start to program those two boards. Where do I start ?

Thank you!

You need to find the SWDIO & SWDCLK pins and connect them to the jtag along with the power & ground pins.

I found those pins on the breakout board but they are split apart as you can see on the diagram. Also I have the J-Link EDU www.segger.com/j-link-edu.html, which has 20 pins. How can I connect just those pins and they are split up ?

Also what about the 3rd Party module ?

Sorry for hijacking this thread a little bit, but since he is using nRF51822 on a board that is not from dev/eval kit, can he still use the header files provided in the nRF51 SDK? (and the example code as well?)

[John Kolovson]

David, that was actually my next question. I still haven't found an answer. If you do please let me know.

I think I have the pinouts figured out.
