Hi Amanda,

Just confirmed that it works with mergehex version 10.14.0, both on Windows 7 and Mac (Catalina), for both s140_nrf52_7.2.0 and 7.3.0 softdevices. So I guess the issue is linked with mergehex 10.13.0 or lower and s140_nrf52_7.2.0_softdevice +.

Thanks for the help.

Best regards,

Dushyantha

Hi,

Yeah. I was trying to merge my own application, but once that kept on failing, I tried the nRF5_SDK_17.0.2 usbd_ble_uart with s140_nrf52_7.2.0_softdevice. My mergehex version is 10.13.0. But since I couldn't even merge the files that came with the nRF5_SDK_17.0.2, which you couldn't reproduce, I guess I have a problem in my system (either SES 5.44 or the command line tool). I'll try to get hold of a Windows PC and try again.

Best Regards,

Dushyantha.

Hi,

Are you merging nRF5_SDK_17.0.2 usbd_ble_uart with s140_nrf52_7.2.0_softdevice? I cannot reproduce the issue with that and s140_nrf52_7.3.0_softdevice.

Try the command line tool later than version 10.12.2 or Windows PC. Have a look at this post.

Amanda

Hi Amanda,

Thanks for the reply, but unfortunately, it didn't change anything. Still the same error 😞

Here's the memory map according to the nRF Connect, which recognises the application start at 0x27000.

I just tried s140_nrf52_7.3.0_softdevice and got the same error, but all works well with s140_nrf52_6.1.0_softdevice.

Hi,

Try this:

FLASH_PH_START=0x0
FLASH_PH_SIZE=0x100000
RAM_PH_START=0x20000000
RAM_PH_SIZE=0x40000
FLASH_START=0x27000
FLASH_SIZE=0xd9000
RAM_START=0x20002ae8
RAM_SIZE=0x3d518
