[nRF51822] How to merge software device and application code to one hex file

Question

Hi sir
In order to simplify the flow of programming hex file to nRF51, we want to merge Softdevice hex file with application hex file. Then, generate a new hex file. Could "mergehex" tool make it? If yes, please make a instance how to work it. Thanks.

There is a tool called mergehex in the C:\Program Files (x86)\Nordic Semiconductor rf51\bin folder that can do this. Its syntax can be seen in its built-in help-function: C:\Program Files (x86)\Nordic Semiconductor rf51\bin>mergehex --help Usage: ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- -h --help Prints this help. -q --quiet Reduces the stdout text info. Must be combined with another command. -v --version Prints the version of this utility. -m --merge Hex files to be merged. -o --output Hex file result of the merge. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This small application is used to merge two hex files. Example use: mergehex.hex -m hex_file_1.hex hex_file_2.hex -o output_file.hex
