-- nRF51 Series DKs and Dongle
+Programming with Nordic Secure DFU is **Possible** on some nRF52 Series devices if you implement a bootloader solution that supports Nordic Secure DFU.
+
+### Support for custom kits
+
+The following criteria apply to programming custom kits with nRF Connect Programmer:
+
+- **SoC/SiP**: The device you are programming must use an SoC or SiP from Nordic Semiconductor.
+- **Programming with J-Link**: Possible for all custom kits that feature Nordic SoCs supported by [nRF Util](https://docs.nordicsemi.com/bundle/nrfutil/page/README.html)
+- **Programming with Nordic Secure DFU**: Possible if you implement a bootloader solution that supports Nordic Secure DFU. nRF Connect Programmer checks the bootloader for Nordic ID to be able to program using this method.
+- **Programming with MCUboot**: Only possible using CLI.
+
+## Deprecated devices
+
+The devices with no programming method supported are considered deprecated.
