How to flash using HEX and SoftDevice

How to program flash with the output HEX file and SoftDevice file using NRF52-DK.

When programming with the output HEX file the device does not work, I need also HEX - SoftDevice.

Hi!

You can use the Programmer application in nRF Connect for Desktop to flash a HEX-file to your DK. If your application uses BLE you will need to add the SoftDevice first and then the application HEX file on top of that and select Erase & write.

But i need flash extern device connected to the NRF52-DK.

Okay? Why is that a problem?

[BartoszT]

nRF Connect write program to the NRF52-DK and not to the external device.
Programming and Debug in Segger IDE works with NRF52-DK but I need seperate tool for flashing.

If you're using the nRF52 DK as the external debugger for your own device, how are you connecting them?
