I am installing the firmware on the dongle for the first time by loadfile C:\...\sniffer_pca10031.hex. I got an error about unknown format. What's wrong? Thanks and Regards

Question

I followed the nRF User Guide v2.2 for my nRF dongle and all was Ok up to "Install firmware with SEGGER J-Link point 6 e (loadfile Path\...\sniffer_pca10031.hex)". Got error due to "unknown format" .

Hi, 
 
 Just in case someone else comes here... I just found out that in Windows the correct way to use the command is: 
 
 loadfile "<path to file>" (The path is inside quotation marks) 
 
 or you can just type 'loadfile ' and drag the hex file to the command window. 
 
 Hope it helps!
