Fixed flash memory location for BLE stack (Softdevice)

Hello Nordic support,

I understand that BLE stack is provided in nRF5 SDK as SoftDevice hex file and the flash area is fixed for the softdevice. I would like to understand if it is possible to provide SoftDevice hex file that can be flashed in another area of flash memory.

The reason for asking this is we already have a Zigbee coordinator application which is already deployed to devices on field. Now, we are planning to add BLE capability to this application. Our existing Zigbee application is present in flash area that overlaps with the Softdevice. Therefore, wanted to check if there is a way to update the application with BLE capability without making much changes to application code with respect to flash area. If you have any other suggestions for our problem statement, that would be helpful.

Thanks in advance,

Anusha
