How could we use Segger Embedded Studio to develop softdevice based application? Do we need load softdevice into the nRF52832 firstly and then load the application code afterwards in Segger Embedded Studio?

Hi Support engineer,

I am quite new to Nodicsemi devices, I am going through some getting started tutorials, but I found there is no tutorial based on Segger Embedded Studio, mostly are based on Keil MDK IDE. When it comes to softdevice based development, it seems that we need to load the softdevice hex file into the chip firstly and then we can program the application code if we are using Keil MDK IDE, but for Segger Embedded Studio, there is no such tutorial on it? Could anyone help me on this one.

Thanks,

Robin

Hi Robin, 

Segger Embedded Studio allows you to set additional load files, i.e. additional files that should be flashed to the nRF5x device when you flash the application. If you're using one of the examples from the nRF5 SDK as a template, this should already be configured in the build settings. This is explained in this tutorial video(around 4:15) on Nordic Semiconductor's Youtube Channel

In general I would recommend watching all the videos in theGetting started with SEGGER Embedded Studio and the nRF5 SDK tutorial series. 

Best regards

Bjørn
