or you can use the IDAP-Link CMSIS-DAP Debug JTAG. There are software provided that can flash all 3 firmware at once. No need to do merged or generate setting page. The IDAPnRFProg will do that automatically for you. It can also parallel flashing multiple boards at once.

Hi,

In addition to the firmware, the bootloader stores information about the current application in flash. That flash page, the "bootloader settings page", is not part of the bootloader per se, and so it is not part of the bootloader binary / hex file. (Building it as part of the bootloader would not work either, as its contents depends on the application.)

That means you must generate the bootloader settings page itself separately, to its own hex file, that may be combined with the other hex files for programming the device in one go. For more information, see Generating and displaying bootloader settings, and the Testing section of the BLE Secure DFU Bootloader example.
