&lt;p&gt;When you load the hex file(s), the Programmer has full context of the different regions, so it can visualize the different flash region as described in the files.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;When you read back from the flash memory, the app doesn&amp;#39;t have any context, so it just split the regions if there is several blank region in between.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Meanwhile, the MBR writes some data to FF8-FFF, so the Programmer app thinks that FF8-FFF and the bootloader is a continuous daya region, and visualize it as such.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In short, there is nothing wrong.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
