Can't flash. Merge.hex error.

[MosheSmartAmr]

Hi, all!

After updating all libs can't flash. Have this error:
Tested also with asset_tracker sample.

Using runner: nrfjprog
nrfjprog --ids
Flashing file: /home/ilya/projects/ncs/asset_tracker/build/zephyr/merged.hex

Hi.

ERROR: The file specified could not be found.

 Are you sure that the file is located in the path you specified?

Best regards,

Hi, Andreas.

There is no file merged.hex 
I think it must be file zephyr.hex as always. But now it is trying to flash merged.hex.

[AndreasF]

Hi.

Which branch are you using? The master branch?

Best regards,

Andreas

I am seeing the same thing. On master branch.

It looks like CMakeCache is showing this path

//Path to merged image in Intel Hex format
ZEPHYR_RUNNER_CONFIG_KERNEL_HEX:STRING=C:/PROJECTCODE/ncs/nrf/applications/asset_tracker/build/zephyr/merged.hex

Here is what happens when I issue flash command

Hi.

Sorry for the late reply. We've had Easter holiday in Norway from the 17th - 23rd.

Could you try to do this checkout:

git chekcout 08b3d508

For the ncs/nrf folder.

Note: I'm out of office today traveling.

Best regards,

Andreas

[rkguy]

That works. Why does that one work?

If I checkout master it does not work.

Also, FYI, the process I used after this checkout is to go to ncs folder and wet update

then to set the toolchain variatnt and the toolchain path

then to go to ncs\zephy and run sephyr-env.cmd

then I build.
