This would have been a lot better as a separate question, but the answer is most likely that you have programmed the softdevice before trying to flash the Master Emulator firmware. That should not be done, since the Master Emulator firmware doesn't use the softdevice.

If this does not make it work, I'd be happy if you could post it as a separate question, since it has nothing to do with the original question here.

To clean things up, I'd be happy if you could evaluate the answer you have received and accept it if you feel it's sufficient. If not, it might be useful to expand your question a little and provide further information.

Since this doesn't really have anything to do with the SDK and is a separate download, the documentation for the Master Control Panel is available from Master Control Panel itself, in the Help menu.

If you're looking for the Master Emulator API documentation, this is located in C:\Program Files\Nordic Semiconductor\Master Emulator${Version}\Documentation folder as a CHM file.

There is unfortunately a bug in the documentation here, so that the path to the Master Emulator hex file is wrong. The correct path is C:\Program Files\Nordic Semiconductor\Master Control Panel${Master Control Panel version}\firmware\pca10000\MEFW_nRF51822_0.8.0_firmware.hex.

However, if you do the flash programming from Master Control Panel itself, as described in the User Guide, the flash programming dialog should actually start browsing in the correct folder.

In fact, the whole topic of the MCP appears to be missing from the SDK documentation.
