Hi. I am using DK PCA10028 V1.1.0 for my devlopment. The SD is ver 8.0.0, the SDK is the latest and keil v5. The IC is nRF51422QFAC. I am trying to flash the examples from software pack. I programmed the SD first which went fine. I compiled the application and wen i try to program the application from nRf studio(i am not able to use keil for programming...some issues with the IDE settings) it throws this error ERROR: This hex file has data in softdevice region. The iROM and iRAM setting are default. How do i fix this??

When you say latest i am assuming SDK10.0. I do not like packs, but just to verify i downloaded and unpacked them. Tried it with SD1108.0.0 with the ble_app_uart and it worked ok. Why can't you just download the SDK in the zipped version and use it instead of packs?

the blinky example without SD works fine. The IROM: 0X0 (START), 0X40000 (SIZE) and IRAM: 0X20000000 (START), 0X8000 (SIZE). But anything with sd throws the error. If i change the IROM and IRAM settings it programs but nothing works.
