I also recommend that you take a look at this and this page on Infocenter.

Hi Fiske,

Place this to batch file and run:

set SOFTDEVICE_NAME=s132_nrf52_2.0.1_softdevice.hex
nrfjprog --program %SOFTDEVICE_NAME% --verify --chiperase -f NRF52

(you obviously need to change chip family and SoftDevice file name according to your needs)

However note that SoftDevice itself won't do anything and if you want to flash application on top of it most nrfjprog commands will complain that chip is not erased entirely. So you are most probably looking for this sequence:

set MERGE_NAME=merged.hex
set SOFTDEVICE_NAME=s132_nrf52_2.0.1_softdevice.hex
set NRF5_CHIP_FAMILY=NRF52
set APP_NAME=my-ble-application.hex

mergehex -m %SOFTDEVICE_NAME% %APP_NAME% -o %MERGE_NAME%
nrfjprog --program %MERGE_NAME% --verify --chiperase -f %NRF5_CHIP_FAMILY%

and alternatively put this line in the end:

nrfjprog --rbp ALL -f %NRF5_CHIP_FAMILY%

and of course then you need to put this line before nrfjprog --program...:

nrfjprog --recover -f %NRF5_CHIP_FAMILY%

Cheers Jan
