3 Quick start

This section shows you how to set up the nRF51822 Development Kit and provides example applications to

help you start programming your device.

1. If you have Keil MDK-ARM Lite already installed, go to step 2. Otherwise, download and install Keil

MDK-ARM Lite from https://www.keil.com/demo/eval/arm.htm to your hard drive. Keil downloads

to c:\Keil\ unless you change the location when installing.

2. Download and run the J-Link Software and documentation pack for Windows from

http://www.segger.com/jlink-software.html. The serial number from your SEGGER J-Link hardware

is needed to identify your device and can be found printed on the chip on the J-Link Lite emulator

board.

3. During installation you will be prompted to select the IDE that should be updated with the latest

SEGGER DLLs. Check the box for Keil MDK and any other IDEs you want to use with SEGGER.

4. If you are using Keil MDK v4.54, go to:

http://www.segger.com/IDE_Integration_Keil.html#knownproblems. Download JL2CM3 and copy

it to <keil>/ARM/Segger. This patch is necessary for the SEGGER debugger to work.

5. Go to www.nordicsemi.com and log in to your Nordic My Page account.

6. Select MY KEYS from the left menu. This takes you to the My Keys page.

7. Enter the product key (included with this kit) into the Product Key field and click Add.

8. Click MY PRODUCTS in the left menu.

9. From the Add product dropdown, select the product name and click Add. The chosen product is

now listed in the below Overview, My Products table.

10. In the Overview, My Products table click the Downloads link next to the product name to go

directly to the relevant product page download section.

11. Download and run the nRF51 SDK installer. Make sure to choose the Keil MDK-ARM installer

option.

3.1 Install the nRF51822 connector module

Connect the hardware

1. Screw the antenna into the SMA connector on the nRF51822 DK SMA (PCA10005) connector

module.

2. Ensure that header K1 has a jumper connecting pin 2 and 3. The two upper rows of P4 should

have two jumpers placed vertically matching the 32 kHz marking.

3. Plug the nRF51822 DK SMA connector module into the nRFgo Starter Kit Motherboard (nRF6310).

4. Connect a USB cable from the Motherboard to your computer.

5. Using two 10 pin flat cables (2.54 mm, included in the nRFgo Starter Kit), connect one cable

between P8 (PORT0) and P1 (BUTTONS) and one between P10 (PORT1) and P2 (LEDS) on the

nRFGo Motherboard. Make sure the red marking on the cable is always connected to pin 1, as

shown in the figure below.

6. Connect the SEGGER J-Link board to the nRF51822 module with the 10 pin flat cable (1.27 mm,

provided in the Development Kit).

7. Connect a USB cable from the J-Link board to your computer.

Turn on and set the supply voltage

1. Slide the S8 switch on the Motherboard to VBUS.

2. Slide the On/Off switch on the Motherboard to ON.

3. The VCC and VTG LEDs will light up.

4. Start nRFgo Studio. The Motherboard firmware may require an update, and if needed, you will be

prompted to begin the update. If this occurs, click OK and wait for the update to complete.

Note: While updating the firmware, you will see nRFgo Studio look similar to the image on the left

below.On completion of the update, the “Updating…” message will change to “Upgrade” as

seen in the figure on the right; however, this option is not immediately available after the

latest update and will be greyed out.

5. Select the desired motherboard from the Device Manager pane in nRFgo Studio. To find the board

ID, look on the 7-segment display on the Motherboard.

6. In nRFgo Studio, you can control the supply voltage (VTG) to the connected nRF51822 module.

Make sure the voltage is set to 3.3 V.

Note: • Please refer to nRFgo Studio's help file for further information. While in nRFgo Studio, press

F1 to open the help file.

•The nRF51822 device is capable of operating at voltages higher and lower than

3.3 V. This can be tested when the debugger is not required for programming or debugging

the application. However, for the J-Link Lite Cortex-M (that is included in the kit) to function

correctly, the supply voltage must be set to 3.3 V on the Motherboard. At all voltages other

than 3.3 V, the J-Link Lite CortexM-9 debugger should be disconnected from the nRF51822

module (SEGGER has debuggers that are capable of debugging in the entire voltage range).

The supply voltage operating range of the nRF51822 device is stated in the Product

Specification.
