It will be 200MB+ when the UICR section starting at 0x10001000 is included due to byte padding. I guess this could explain the issue.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Nrfutil strips away this section before converting to .bin if you pass the .hex file instead, have you tried that?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Note that the UICR section cannot be a part of a DFU image.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item></channel></rss>
