 So I&amp;#39;m new to the Nordic world and I am having some trouble programming the SoftDevices API. After I compile my code, I get the S112 hex file and try to use this to program to my device, however it just throws an error every time.

&lt;p&gt;First of all, which SDK are you using?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Which error are you receiving?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;When you have programmed the SoftDevice and an Application and run your device, the SoftDevice does some intitialization and then jumps to a start address for the Application, which is dependent on the SoftDevice.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I recommend that you take a look at &lt;a href="https://www.nordicsemi.com/en/DocLib/Content/SDK_Doc/nRF5_SDK/v15-2-0/nrf51_getting_started"&gt;Getting Started&lt;/a&gt; with precompiled examples.&lt;/p&gt;
[quote user=""]Am I retrieving the correct SoftDevices file,and from the right place? I have noticed that there are a decent amount of blank areas in the SoftDevices hex file; not sure if this is normal or not, but just throwing it out there in case it&amp;#39;s indicative of something.[/quote]
&lt;p&gt;If you got the SoftDevice from the SDK folder and you haven&amp;#39;t&amp;nbsp; modified that file then there should not be any problems.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Best regards,&lt;/p&gt;
