S120 hex files will not load

I had to type this

$ ./s120_nrf51822_1.0.0-3.alpha_program.bat --program

in Cygwin window. Good thing is that it told me to use "--program" if I don't use it.

That worked! Hope it helps.

Before programming, try to select the device in nRFgo Studio and press "Erase All" to ensure the chip is blank before attempting to program it.

Thanks for the heads up, but still a problem. See below.

Hi Mark

Take a look at the readme file and the release notes in the s120_nrf51822_1.0.0-3.alpha archive. They state that you need to program the softdevice with the .bat file in the archive.
