  • Hi, Rushin. You should not copy .hex files into the bootloader of the nRF51-DK. The bootloader (invoked by powering on the DK while holding down the reset button) is meant for updating the interface firmware on the on-board debugger (you can have either JLINK or MBED debugger firmware). If you want to program a .hex to the nRF device, you should drag-and-drop the .hex file to the normal MSD which is either named JLINK or MBED. If it is named BOOTLOADER, that means you are trying to update the on board debugger, not the nRF. Hope this clarifies it.
