debugging nRF51 dk within Eclipse IDE

[i_am_trying]

I am using SDK 8.1.0 and Eclipse on a Mac. I am having difficulty flashing my app that uses the nRF51 sdk onto nRF51. I am using JLink I assume I need to flash two things: 1) s110_softdevice.hex (which comes with the nRF51 sdk) and 2)my app - Blinky.hex

How do I do this within Eclipse? Thank you.

have you already configured your project in Eclipse and is it compiling without errors? if not you need to follow this tutorial devzone.nordicsemi.com/.../

If you have already configured your project but your only problem is flashing, then check the flashing section in that tutorial.

Thank you. What I didn't understand was the difference between using a .hex and a .bin. Moving forward, I plan to use .hex (has the addressing included) and instead of loadbin (which requires an address) I'll be using loadfile. I am sure this info is documented somewhere. However, on the tutorials and pages I read it did not have this simplification (to use .hex and loadfile instead of .bin and loadbin).

I was able to get debugging working. Yay!
