I have correctly installed all the tools which shows in the given document: Installing the toolchain (for Linux). The only thing I do in the cmakelists is adding

project(bootloader)

cmake_minimum_required(VERSION 3.9)

to the top and make it work.

I also follow the steps in Building the mesh stack and examples.

However, the official file seems to be incomplete and cannot generate the hex file. In the path \nrf5SDKforMeshv320src\bin\bootloader\gccarmemb, I find the correct hex file. I want to generate these hex files from the cmakelists given by Nordic and I cannot do that. There must be some problem with the cmakelists so could you please show me the correct one?

Okay, my fault. I was mixing it with the NCS, where CMake is used everywhere. I'll look into your issue.

I cannot understand what you say. Because all of my screenshot is from nRF5 SDK for MESH file. You can find these code in \nrf5SDKforMeshv320src\mesh\bootloader\cmakelists.txt.

The following document is the cmakelists:

devzone.nordicsemi.com/.../2148.CMakeLists.txt

I cannot use this cmakelists to generate the hex file, could you please give me the correct cmakelists?

Before answering your question I would like to ask why you are using NCS for the nRF52832? We mainly give support for questions where nrf52/nRF51 devices are used along with the nRF5 SDK. Is this choice intentional?

You could also ask for help in the Zephyr mailing list or join the #zephyrproject IRC channel."
