+When using the nRF51-DK or the dongle you'll talk to the nRF chip through the Segger chip. It will only listen for traffic when a terminal is connected to /dev/ttyACM0. The terminal must use the DTR (data terminal ready) signal for the Segger to disable the tristating of the uart pins and start listening.
