Making a custom board requires programming via Serial Wire Debug (SWD), at least for the bootloader. Two methods for this are described below.

<a href='https://learn.adafruit.com/programming-microcontrollers-using-openocd-on-raspberry-pi/overview'>This page</a> is a very helpful introduction to programming using OpenOCD and the BCM2835.
Support for the NRF52 is not in the stable release of OpenOCD as of V 0.10, but you can patch it following the instructions on <a href='https://primalcortex.wordpress.com/2017/06/10/setting-up-openocd-for-programming-the-nordic-nrf52832-chip/'>this page</a>. They worked for me, with the small addition that I needed to eliminate two duplicate variable definitions that broke my build.

The `openocd.cfg` will also be different for the NRF52. Here is mine for flashing a binary of the Adafruit bootloader:
```
transport select swd
source [find target/nrf52.cfg]
bcm2835gpio_swd_nums 25 24
bcm2835gpio_trst_num 7
bcm2835gpio_srst_num 18
init
targets
reset halt
nrf52 mass_erase 0
program feather52_bootloader_v050_s132_v201.hex verify
reset
shutdown
```
