You can use hex2bin:

http://hex2bin.sourceforge.net/

Or you can use objcopy:

arm-none-eabi-objcopy -O binary input.elf output.bin

There should be a zephyr.bin in your build folder which you can use as well.

Kind regards,

Håkon

Hi Andreas.

I've been able to open and build the project without errors in SES, but I have one more question: if I want to build a bin file instead of an hex file how can I do it? Because in the project options I don't have a "Linker" entry and so I can't set the "Additional Output Format", I don't know why.

Also, will I be able to flash that bin file to the Thingy:91 with this method (https://devzone.nordicsemi.com/nordic/cellular-iot-guides/b/getting-started-cellular/posts/thingy91_2d00_fw_2d00_update_2d00_mcuboot)?

Thank you.

Hi Andreas,

I had checked out the master but hadn't copied the new board files in to the zephyr directory and therefore it was building with the old board files. I have now been able to build and flash the blinky test application on to the board. I will try again with the Nordic examples.

Thanks,

Matt

Hi Matt.

Which branch are you using? The master branch?

Best regards,

Andreas

Thanks for the quick reply,

I'm new to the command line build system so some of the following questions may be obvious ones.

I can build the example zephyr project fine with the nrf9160_pca10090ns board but when i try and use the nrf9160_pca20035_v0_3_0ns board i get the following errors.

1) device tree error: unknown 'status' value "ok"

I fixed this by renaming all 'ok' to 'okay' in the dts files

2) devicetree error: 'tx-pin' is marked as required in 'properties:' in /Nordic/ncs/zephyr/dts/bindings/serial/nordic,nrf-uarte.yaml, but does not appear in <Node /soc/peripheral@40000000/uart@a000 in 'nrf9160_pca20035_v0_3_0ns.dts.pre.tmp'

it appears like the uart2 pins are not defined in the dts files. There is this message in the file about the uart2. "UART2 must be enabled for defines to be available for secure partition manager.". Is there a reference for which pins this uart2 should sit on?

Thanks,

Matt

Hi.

The Thingy:91 is not supported in ncs tag v1.0.0, could you try with master?

Also, I think you might have to build with command line in master, as SES has some issues with that at the moment.

Best regards,

Andreas

I am also experiencing this exact same issue!
