Hi Kenneth!

Many thanks for your reply! Just one more question regarding this, if I select the 52dk_nrf52810 to build the project, then the binary generated will be for that device, right? I know that the nrf52810 is a variant from the nrf52832, but for testing we are using the 52dk with the nrf52832 with limited resources.

Best regards

Hello,

If you havent' already check out: https://academy.nordicsemi.com/

Also there is this documentation:
Build system in zephyr: https://developer.nordicsemi.com/nRF_Connect_SDK/doc/latest/zephyr/build/cmake/index.html
Multi-image build in nRF Connect SDK: https://developer.nordicsemi.com/nRF_Connect_SDK/doc/latest/nrf/ug_multi_image.html#

The short answer to your question is that zephyr.bin is the binary of the compiled application yes (it can also come in different format such as .elf or .hex), however it may be that build also contain other binaries that needs to be programmed (e.g. child images that run prior to starting your zephyr.bin application). Example a project can contain both the mcuboot (hello_world\build\mcuboot\zephyr\zephyr.bin) and app image (hello_world\build\zephyr\zephyr.bin) that needs to be programmed, or you can use the merged.hex instead.

Best regards,
Kenneth
