Major and Minor value change in code not reflecting

Yes, perfect! It is working. I also realized the most recent accessed softdevice was s113 and then I uploaded s140 and your hex file.

Do you think wrong Softdevice was the problem or application hex file?

Can you try using this .hex file. Where I changed the values (same as you) and it is working for me.

Note, remember to flash the SD as well.

Ok, as long as you read the "A word of caution" in the blog, you should be fine.

Are you using an external programmer to program the Dongle? Or are you using nRF Programmer?

Hi Joakim,

Thank you for your answer.

1. Yes, I load the correct newly build hex file.
2. I have not erased the dongle, because I read in the programming tutorial with bolded " Caution " so i just didn't try it. Because these resources are sponsored by clients so I do not want it to malfunction.

But, I feel maybe its because the old program is embedded and I may need to erase memory contents.

If it is safe ( without erasing operating system ) how can I do that?

Thank you very much.

Hi.

That sounds very strange. I just tested this myself, and I have no problem changing and displaying the new values of the Minor/Major value.

Are you sure that you flashed the new .hex file with the different values?

Did you erase the flash before downloading the new .hex file to your board?
