Bricked my nrf51-dk during the bootloader conversion process on OSX

I copied nrf51822aa_atsam3u2c_if_mbed_V0218_19022015.bin to the BOOTLOADER drive that showed up when I followed the instructions. When I unmounted and rebooted the board, I nothing happened. I also couldn't get it back into bootloader mode by holding boot/reset and plugging it in.

Board is NRF51-DK V.1.1.0.

I have a TIAO JTAG/SWD programmer, wondering which pins to hook it to if I want to re-flash the bootloader.

Thanks!

Update: Actually, for bricked boards Nordic has to run a failure analysis. So you will actually need you to file a support request at Nordic Semiconductor Technical Support.

Matthew: If you haven't already done so I think you should raise this question at Nordic Developer Zone: https://devzone.nordicsemi.com
