how can i change build configuration to debug/release for example blinky. actual problem is i am unable to flash my own blinky(which i have created) code(i am unable to flash). but by using example blinky make file and ld script i have made changes(edited make file) with my requirements(i am able to flash). the problem is i want to change linker flags for the blinky code. (i am unable to get toolchain settings in my IDE(bcoz there is default configuration is fixed for examples)

nrfjprog should be located in something like C:\Program Files (x86)\Nordic Semiconductor\nrf5x\bin, so try adding this to your PATH user variable.

What OS are you using? I'm assuming you can't use nrfjprog from a command line either?

You can flash SoftDevice and application directly from Eclipse.

You can use the flash targets included in the Makefiles:

flash: nrf51422_xxac_s130
	@echo Flashing: $(OUTPUT_BINARY_DIRECTORY)/$<.hex
	nrfjprog --program $(OUTPUT_BINARY_DIRECTORY)/$<.hex -f nrf51  --sectorerase
	nrfjprog --reset -f nrf51

## Flash softdevice
flash_softdevice:
	@echo Flashing: s130_nrf51_2.0.0_softdevice.hex
	nrfjprog --program ../../../../../../components/softdevice/s130/hex/s130_nrf51_2.0.0_softdevice.hex -f nrf51 --chiperase
	nrfjprog --reset -f nrf51

In order to execute the flash target create the make targets by right clicking the project folder and select Make Targets->Create...

Add one called flash and one called flash_softdevice.

You can see Make Targets by clicking Window->Show View->Make Target
