Failed to flash BLE hex files using nRFgo Studio

[junma]

Hi all,
I have a PCA10040 board and want to try the BLE examples provided in nRF5_SDK_11.0.0-2.alpha folder. However, there is always a problem when flash BLE hex files (such as ble_app_bps_s132_pca10040.hex) using nRFgo Studio (v1.21.1.3).
I can program softdevice.hex successfully, but trying to flash various kinds of apps.hex always lead to failure. Below is the capture to show the error:

Below is the capture of the nRFgo Studio log:

I have searched the devzone for similar posts, yet still cannot figure out how to fix it.
Could you please help me about this issue? Thanks in advance!
Best regards,
Junma

You probably have wrong memory settings. You are trying to flash application in the same memory region as (already flashed) SoftDevice. You have to erase softdevice if your application doesnt use it, before flashing application. If you need to use softdevice, you have to set memory correctly, according to SoftDevice Specification (or example projects from SDK...). You can tell us what IDE are you using, so someone might point you how to set memory regions.

Hi Wojtek, thank you for your kindly reply. I'm using IAR 7.50.1, and I'm sure the app.hex file need to be used with the softdevice hex file.

Ok then, you have to set your app adresses properly so the app is not in the same place of memory as SoftDevice. Unfortunately, I dunno how to do it in IAR as I am not using it.

Hi Wojtek, if I want to use Keil, then how can I fix this memory overlap problems?

Here is how you can change addresses - values may be different for SoftDevice that you use - you can take correct addresses from SoftDevice specification (if available - for newest SDs specification may still not be available yet) or from other example projects based on the same SoftDevice...
