I'm using an nRF52832 breakout board to develop a fall detection device. I am using keil to program it. I'm new to this and I want to know if I need a dev board in order to download the code to the breakout board? should it be uploaded via JTAG programmer?
Note that this has nothing to do with Keil - you need to ask Nordic about the specific features/facilities of their products, dev boards etc.
"I'm new to this"
New to what, exactly?
- New to Nordic specifically?
- New to Keil specifically?
- New to microcontrollers in general?
- New to programming in general?
For getting started with Keil & Cortex-M microcontrollers, see:

Regarding using a Dev Kit - especially for a "newbie":
