Mergehex conflict between softdevice hex code and ble application code

[pranavsk1994]

Hi I am using gcc based environment for flashing the nrf52840 SDK with BLE applications. I tried to modify one of the applications to send SPI data received from non-nordic chip over BLE.

I am using mergehex tool for merging softdevice and application hex files. It works well with SDK examples but it say there is conflict between hex files while merging them. It shows as:

ERROR: The hex files cannot be merged since there are conflicts.

It seems there is some kind of address conflict I read various similar questions in nordic developer zone but couldn't figure out the solution I am attaching both hex files with this question

s140_nrf52840_5.0.0-2.alpha_softdevice.hex

nrf52840_xxaa.hex

Note: I tried using nrfjprog for terminal commands like make flash and make flash_softdevice but that thing doesn't work in my case

Do you have the loader scripts for both your app and the softdevice? I'm guessing that those scripts overlap in some way so you might need to edit one to relocate the image.

Yes the loader script of application overlapped with softdevice hex code. I change memory mapping for application and now mergehex is working
