Merge --family xxx nRF52833 application and bootloader

[LeoChen]

Hi,

I want to merge nRF52833 application HEX and bootloader.

"nrfutil settings generate --family NRF52833 --application MY_HEX.hex --application-version 1 --bootloader-version 1 --bl-settings-version 1 bootloader_setting.hex"

The parameter --family does not include nRF52833.

Error: Invalid value for "--family": invalid choice: NRF52833. (choose from NRF51, NRF52, NRF52QFAB, NRF52810, NRF52840)

I try the parameter "NRF52" and "NRF52840" to pass this merge.

However, There are conflict error after execute merge application, softdevice and bootloader command.

"ERROR: The hex files cannot be merged since there are conflicts."

Same project use nRF52840,832 can merged without error.

Would you please share how to merge the bootloader with nRF52833.

SDK16.

Softdevice 7.0.1

nrfutil version 4.0.0

Thanks,

Hi,

NRF52 should be used when generating the settings page for nRF52833, so it should have worked. Do you know if it's the settings page that creates the merge conflict?

Hi,

I attached these HEX files.

Would you please try if you can merge these files.

Thank you.

Hi,

BT833_AT_UARTwithout32K.hex overlaps with the Softdevice. The app starts at address 0x1C000 while the Softdevice ends at address 0x27000. Also, the bootloader begins at address 0xF8000 which is outside the memory range on the nRF52833.
