RE: Run application with softdevice at custom address without bootloader

I figured it out myself:

uicr_bootloader_start_address RX 0x10001014 0x4

Was missing in the linker section placements segments.

I also had to add this function:

uint32_t nrf_dfu_mbr_init_sd(void)
{
    uint32_t ret_val;

    sd_mbr_command_t command =
    {
        .command = SD_MBR_COMMAND_INIT_SD
    };

    ret_val = sd_mbr_command(&command);

    return ret_val;
}

Before ble_stack_init function in the initialization procedure.

I also added:

err_code = sd_softdevice_vector_table_base_set(0x30000);
APP_ERROR_CHECK(err_code);

At the beginning of ble_stack_init function.

I hope this post will avoid other people to spend hours on a similar case.

Kind regards.
