Nrf51822 build ble with softdevice

[akca]

Hi, i want to build my ble app with softdevice. As a result, I want to have a single .hex file that contains the sofdevice. And i am going to flash it to the nrf51822 using ST_Link v2 with openocd.

- My OS is ARCH Linux, my compiler is gcc-arm-none-eabi-7-2018-q2-update and my editor is VIM.

I am using SDK_12.3.

i just want to add the /nRF5_SDK_12.3.0_d7731ad/components/softdevice/s130/hex/s130_nrf51_2.0.1_softdevice.hex to the /nRF5_SDK_12.3.0_d7731ad/examples/ble_peripheral/ble_app_template/pca10028/s130/armgcc/Makefile.

How i can make this. Or any document/examples for this.

You only really need to program the SoftDevice once; thereafter, leave it alone and just program the application.

But to make a single Hex file is just a matter of merging the app Hex and the SoftDevice Hex - I'm sure linux must have tools to do that.

On Windows, there's megehex.
