Programming and Debugging
Flashing
Follow the instructions in the Nordic nRF5x Segger J-Link page to install and configure all the necessary software. To flash the board connect pins: SWDIO, SWDCLK, RST, GND from E73-TBB to corresponding pins on your J-Link device, then build and flash the application in the usual way.
