Can I use the J-Link Lite to program my custom board?

[Guest]

The Development Kit came with a J-Link Lite, which I've been using to program the development kit modules. As I'm now about to manufacture my own PCB, I was wondering whether I can use this programmer also for my own boards. Is there any limitations to this?

The J-Link Lite only supports boards that run on ~3.3 V, but as long as your custom board runs on (or close to) this voltage, this will work nicely. Just map out the header (or at least the SWD lines and VDD/GND), and hook it up. You can then use nRFgo Studio or nrfjprog as usual to progam the chip.

If you need a wider voltage range, I'd recommend you to take a look on Segger's other programmers, for example a regular J-Link which works over the full voltage range of the nRF51822.
