Why does keil erase softdevice hex and the app hex when doing a clean build?

[Craig]

I am trying to figure out how/if I can program the softdevice hex from keil? I know I can just use nRF studio however its annoying sometimes....I also noticed I cannot rebuild the softdevice hex and when you do a clean all it literally erases all hex from project including the softdevice, how can I prevent this and/or why is this happening?

[Craig]

Yes I understand but I am still confused...I cant remove maybe the flash_s132_nrf52_3.0.0_softdevice from Keil?

[Sigurd]

Yes, you can remove it. Click on "File extensions, books and environment" : and delete the target.

Ok great thanks so very much for your help....its always annoying learning the nuances of a new tool, so far I like it however it can be frustrating. Is there any good sites for example projects or code or tutorials regarding nRF in Keil?

[Sigurd]

Yes, there are some tutorials in the tutorial section. See also this post on how to debug error-codes in Keil. This post shows you how use the configuration wizard tool in Keil with the SDK.
