Finally, I managed to compile ble_beacon in segger. However, here's what I can not understand.
Using either Segger -> Target -> Download File or RKNRFGO I managed to upload the ready-made hex from that example to nrf chip, and I can see it on my smartphone. Then I upload the freshly built firmware (with a bit altered UUID - to see which version of firmware is flashed) - segger reports that the new fimware has been flashed successfully, but I can not see anything on the smartphone (I attached the log below). But when I do
The most interesting part is that yesterday when instead of FLASH ADDRESS 1B000 I mistakenly used 1F000, after having failed to discover the device and doing Segger - Target - JLink connect - Reset I could see the initial stock ble_beacon on the smartphone - the device was again alive!
Now, after I fixed the flash size issue, I cannot reproduce this behavior, the device doesn't work with my own build firmware.
The question is how to debug this elf file - how do I check, what's wrong?
Here's the log:

Besides, I am not sure about my memory map, but I couldn't find the working example
