Were you able to build the sample? If so, the hex file for the project is located in your build directory under <build_dir>/zephyr/. If you have not been able to build the sample yet you can see how to do this in Building and programming an application. If you are new to nRF Connect SDK I also recommend checking out our nRF Connect for VS Code tutorials videos.

[quote user="kalmesh"]and by using nRF5 SDK i ran scratch codes( API -> src -> examples) . And tried to generate the .hex file for this scratch codes as i said earlier [/quote]

With nRF5 SDK you can use SES, as I mentioned in my previous reply:

Open SEGGER Embedded Studio.
Select File->Open Solution and navigate to the selected example directory.
Open the selected project, for example:
- <\examples>/peripheral/bsp/pca10056/blank/ses/bsp_pca10056.emProject
Build the example with Build->Build Solution.

After building, the hex file can be found in the Output folder in ses, so for the example above:

<\examples>/peripheral/bsp/pca10056/blank/ses/Output/Release/Exe/

You can also use GCC to build example instead of SES:

Open Windows command line or Linux terminal.
Navigate to the selected example directory, and then to the armgcc project directory, for example:
- <\examples>/peripheral/bsp/pca10056/blank/armgcc
Run the make command in this directory. If the environment is set up correctly, the build process starts.

This will produce a hex file inside the _build directory:

<\examples>/peripheral/bsp/pca10056/blank/armgcc/_build/

Hi Kalmesh,

I am not sure if I understand. Are you using files from nRF5 SDK for your nRF Connect SDK project, or are these different projects?

If you want to build examples in the nRF5 SDK you can use SES as described in Getting started with nRF5 SDK and SES (nRF51 & nRF52 Series).

Best regards,

Marte

Hi marte myrvold

Thanks for the reply

I'm using both nRF connect SDK for my own project and nRF5 SDK for the basic examples(Tx and Rx) which are in src file(API ->src -> examples)

Regards

Kalmesh

Hi Kalmesh,

Have you already made a project that you want to build and program on your device, or are you starting from scratch? Are you using nRF Connect SDK or nRF5 SDK?

Best regards,

Marte
