You could flash a special firmware into the main STM32 MCU and use that to flash nRF51 (https://github.com/blacksphere/blackmagic), but that would require work as I'm not sure anyone did that on this board yet.

Nice that you mentioned that, I had such question in mind for a while. But how would that work - are nRF51's programming pins connected to STM32's GPIOs?

But I would recommend buying a SWD programmer anyway, as that can later be used with other boards (and to help you debugging Zephyr on Carbon).

Cheers,
