Unable to flash s132 on nRF52832

[AmitChauhan]

I am using TAIYO-YUDEN EYSHCN, which is having Nordic-nRF52832 chip on it. As per document from TAIYO-YUDEN, recommended to flash s132-firmware on it. I downloaded s132_nrf52_3.1.0_softdevice.hex(size-342kb) from nordic site and flashing it using nRF-go studio on region-0, but after flashing it showing only 128kb on region-0.

Hi Amit,

It seems that SoftDevice is flashed. Where is the problem? What do you expect from the module with BT stack only? The vendor is pretty clear in special note (g) that you should write the application yourself.

You can download any SoftDevice version from Nordic's web site, they are also attached with nRF5x SDK releases. The point is: SoftDevice itself is useless until you develop (= write source code and compile/link into binary) some "application" and flash it on top of SoftDevice. And because you can easily flash both SoftDevice and Application at the same time it doesn't matter what you have in the flash are at this moment. The reason why some vendors ship modules/chips with stack flashed in is that it can safe you some time during production (you just need to flash application binary) but for debugging/prototyping development it's useless.
