nRF52-DK external programming MDBT42Q

Trying to program an MDBT42Q nRF52832 based BLE module from an nRF52-DK as external target on connector P20. I used to do this with nRF51-DK and external nRF51 modules with success. Trying the same with nRF52-DK and MDBT42Q I'm not having any success. .hex is generated in MBED online IDE and runs fine on the nRF52-DK itself. Seemingly the external target is not detected and I'm ending up programming the nRF52-DK itself. Tried the following pin connections with both externally powered target and powering it from nRF52-DK.

VDDnRF ---+-------------> VDD

VTG ------+

GND ------------+-------> GND

Also tried with some variation VDD instead of VDDnRF

Also tried connecting GND DETECT to GND on the nRF52 itself
