Contradictory value error with srec_cat

[Florian]

I'm currently trying to merge the S120 softdevice with the compiled code from the ble_app_multilink_central sample under Linux (Ubuntu).

Here is the command I'm executing: srec_cat ../../../../../../s120/s120_nrf51_2.0.0_softdevice.hex -intel _build/nrf51822_xxaa_s120.hex -Intel -o hrs.hex -intel --line-length=44

Unfortunately I'm getting the following error message: srec_cat: _build/nrf51822_xxaa_s120.hex: 2: contradictory 0x00018000 value (previous = 0xFF, this one = 0x00)

It seems as if my build result was invalid. Can anyone confirm this error or indicate how I can work around it?

Just in case anyone finds this via search engine: I was able to fix the problem following the advice found here by adding an --offset 0x18000 parameter to the above command. I.e.

srec_cat path/to/s120/softdevice/s120_nrf51_2.0.0_softdevice.hex -intel path/to/your/build-dir/nrf51822_xxaa_s120.hex -Intel -o out.hex -intel --offset 0x18000 --line-length=44
