That was it. Thank you so much!

Please check that the 32.768 kHz crystal ("Slow Clock") is present on the evaluation board, and that it is connected to the module. The BMD-300 module does not have this crystal built-in, but it should be present on the eval board (component X1, connectable by jumpers J00 and J01).

Also the example .hex files don't work either do you think it is a hardware issue that only effects bluetooth?

If you are sure that SD versions match the API you used in SDK during build and chip version and SD + pre-compiled binary delivered by Nordic with SDK work while your not then you need to go back to build process. E.g. is your GCC equal to the one mentioned by Nordic in SDK release notes? What about to try Keil MDK as well (there you should just open the project and press the button to build...) Finally I'm afraid Nordic compile HEX files with IAR so to reproduce 100% binary compatibility (to be sure that you really have all set as working example) you would need to try that (eval/tiral version should be available if you don't want to pay full license - which I totally understand;) But in my experience GCC work pretty well, haven't had much troubles with different GCC versions once Makefile and code base are stable (which should be this case).

An led is supposed to blink right? I did that and I got the same result no blinking led. I was able to program the s132 softdevice and blinky(s132 version) separately and it worked without mergehex.

It looks all good except missing flashing the stack aka Nordic Soft Device! The best way might be to simply erase whole chip, use mergehex tool to merge SD and app HEX which you built and then flash it by nrfjprog as one binary.
