[quote userid="78073" url="~/f/nordic-q-a/45260/softdevice-bootloader-and-application-programming/178731"]I would still like to understand the actual process of programming a SoftDevice, Bootloader and Application code. Is there an existing example you could point me in the direction of? [/quote]

When compiled, they are all hex files. Then they are programmed over SWD using e.g. the on-board J-link programer/debugger chip that you find on the development kits. You can usually flash the hex files directly from your preferred IDE(e.g. Segger Embedded Studio), or use command line tools like nrfjprog. If you already have the SoftDevice+bootloader on your chip, you can update the firmware on the chip wirelessly using BLE.

Hi,

Thanks for your reply. I have since downloaded nRF Connect.

Hi,

nRFGo Studio is deprecated. Please use nRF Connect for Desktop and the Programmer app. See this link and this link.
