tools to convert binary data file to hex compatible with nrfjprog

[energy]

I have a binary data file that I would like to program in flash at defined address on a nrf52 device

Which tool do you advise that generate hex intel file format by providing binary data filename and base address

Thanks

Use arm-none-eabi-objcopy from GCC for ARM, it has various input output options and BIN to HEX is supported (you supply target address as parameter, see the documentation).

How do we use this ? can you give a sample command ..?

According to this page it should be something like this

arm-none-eabi-objcopy -I binary -O ihex filename.bin filename.hex

This command works well. However, now I am using SoftDevice, I need to move my app to end of softdevice in the flash memory. My makefile is such that I create elf target and then generate bin and hex with arm-none-eabi-objcopy. How can I move my app in the flash memory ?

Read manual. Btw. one would wonder why doing it so complicated when basically every toolchain today supports direct Intel HEX output?
