The free version of Keil has a 32K code size limit and most of the new examples exceeds this. You can buy a full license from Keil to fix this linker "error", or use Segger Embedded Studio which is a free alternative for Nordic customers.

Thank you, Vidar! It works with the pre-compiled .hex. However when I try to compile my hex file, I get this error: "error: L6050U: The code size of this image (40220 bytes) exceeds the maximum allowed for this version of the linker." How can I solve this problem?

Hi,

Are you testing with the pre-compiled .hex from the SDK by any chance? Those are merged with the softdevice already so you don't need to program the softdevice separately.

e.g.,

nrfjprog --program "C:\nRF5_SDK_15.2.0_9412b96\examples\ble_peripheral\ble_app_hrs\hex\ble_app_hrs_pca10056_s140.hex" --chiperase -r
