nrfjprog --readcode returns error

[Robin]

I am trying to use nrfjprog.exe (for the first time) to see if my code is being corrupted on a power fail.  It keeps returning an error that I can find documentation on.

Here is the command and the errors:

C:\Program Files (x86)\Nordic Semiconductor\nrf-command-line-tools\bin>nrfjprog --readcode after.hex
ERROR: The file specified is not a valid hex file, has data outside valid areas
ERROR: or does not have data in valid areas.

Please help

that is strange, which nrfjprog version are you using? You can find out using "nrfjprog -v"

• It should be the latest.  I just downloaded.  I did note that the jprog dll is newer than the other Segger apps I use.  7.5 vs 6.8 .  Might this be a problem?

Susheel,

Any ideas what might be the problem here?  Any suggestions, please?

that exact command works fine here.

Try to see if any other commands are working and try to get some logs out of it and post the logs here

nrfjprog --readcode after.hex --log log.txt

Susheel,

Can you tell me what version of nrfjprog aligns with v6.8 of the Segger apps?

Thx
