nRF52840 SDK16 - .hex files

[Nikosant03]

Hi everyone,

Looking the examples of SDK16, I noticed that every example has a hex folder with some .hex files inside . This applies for both peripheral and ble examples. The path is shown below

When I build the solution then a second hex file is generated inside the output folder

I suppose that this second .hex file is generated from the linker because I have set as additional output format the .hex file.

What is the difference between those two hex files? 

Thanks in advance

These are pre-compiled .hex files  that also combines softdevice (for ble examples). So, you can flash the example directly using the programmer of nRF Desktop or the nRF Command Line Tool
