What's new hex to binary split way for s110 7.0.0 ?

[Sam Lin]

Hi,

For S110 6.0.0 we use such script to split hex to binary. But it seems 7.0.0 is changed and current way is not working anymore.

Convert from hex to binary. Split original hex in two to avoid huge (>250 MB) binary file with just 0s.

arm-none-eabi-objcopy -Iihex -Obinary --remove-section .sec3 /home/leps/Nordic/s110_nrf51822_6.0.0/s110_nrf51822_6.0.0_softdevice.hex _build/s110_nrf51822_6.0.0_softdevice_mainpart.bin

arm-none-eabi-objcopy -Iihex -Obinary --remove-section .sec1 --remove-section .sec2 /home/leps/Nordic/s110_nrf51822_6.0.0/s110_nrf51822_6.0.0_softdevice.hex _build/s110_nrf51822_6.0.0_softdevice_uicr.bin

What's new way to split s110 7.7.0 hex to binary for flashing ?

Hi,

The S110 7.0.0 SoftDevice hex file should not need to be split. The part of the hex file (UICR register values) that caused the huge binary files has been removed in this version. See the release notes for details.
