Good to know that it was caused by the debugger settings. Thank you for the update.

Actually, the same approach works. I had a case of mixed of J-link connection downloading to the incorrect target.

Hello,

The same approach should work with SDK 17, so not sure what is triggering the vector catch (fault exception). Could it be the RAM configuration maybe? I would suggest that you try to compare your linker settings with those that are used for the ble_app_uart s113 project here nRF5_SDK_17.0.2_d674dde\examples\ble_peripheral\ble_app_uart\pca10056\s113\

Hello, I'm now using S113, but v7.2.0. I modified the .emProject file to replace all S140 and s140 with "S113" and "s113" respectively. I changed the Start Address in Flash to be 0x1C000 bytes as well. I'm getting a vector catch . I'm using SES 4.42a with NRF52840 devKit (PCA10056, 2.0.1, 2020.43, 683307444). I'm using SDK 17.0.2 for the ble_peripheral HRS example project. Anything new that I have to modify in order to migrate from S140 to S113?

This response was perfect and now my project is running with S113 seamlessly.

Hello,

The easiest approach is probably to open the *.emProject file in a text editor, do a "search and replace" for all occurrences of S140 and s140 (case sensitive). Then in the same file, update the application start address in flash, so it corresponds with the size of the new Softdevice (s113 v7.x is 0x1C000 bytes - Memory resource map and usage).
