How to configure App.hex and Softdevice.hex memory region using SEGGER? Mergehex -> ERROR: The hex files cannot be merged since there are conflicts.

Hi There,

I currently using PCA10040 development kit for my project. I tried to merge with \nRF5_SDK_14.2.0_17b948a\examples\ble_peripheral\ble_app_blinky\pca10040\s132\ses\Output\Debug\Exe\ble_app_blinky_pca10040_s132.hex using mergehex. The following error received.

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

So, I checked the hex file of both item.

The s132_nrf52_5.0.0_softdevice.hex start address is 0x0000 and end address is 0x24A0 and there is a overlap issue with the app_binkly build which the app_binkly start address is 0x2000. How can I configure the app_binkly address using segger embedded studio?

Hi,

You can change the FLASH and RAM start an size configuration in the project options. Make sure you select the "Common" build configurations.

Best regards,
Jørgen

Hi Jørgen Holmefjord,

Thanks. I have tried the solutions, but it didn't work for me. I managed to merge other hex generated from ble_app_uart and the result is success. I still have no clue what is the different between the ble_app_blinky and ble_app_uart setting

I tested this, and I'm able to merge the ble_app_blinky example with the s132 v5.0.0 softdevice without errors. Have you changed the project in any way? Please try with a fresh extracted SDK.

Yes, you are right. I mess up my ses project configuration.
