.text section is larger than specified size

I am setting up Segger Embedded Studio on my M2 Macbook and running in issues.

I downloaded S140 (nRF5_SDK_17.1.0_ddde560) and upon the build, I see the following errors. Does it have to do with the Segger version i have?

12> /Applications/SEGGER Embedded Studio for ARM 7.20/gcc/arm-none-eabi/bin/ld: error: .text section is larger than specified size
12> /Applications/SEGGER Embedded Studio for ARM 7.20/gcc/arm-none-eabi/bin/ld: error: .rodata section is larger than specified size

No, it's not a custom board. I have already attached the board's image in one of the previous responses.
Yes it compiles and runs fine using Segger Embedded studio

Ok, so now the issue is that you're not able to flash it using nRF Connect Programmer app. If the program use BLE then you have to add the Softdevice as well for the nRF Connect Programmer app to flash it. Also I can not see that you have attached the compiled image of the hex anywhere..

Hi,

I had no issues with programming that hex to my nRF52840 development kit, see pictures:

How have you connected your development kit to your Mac, are you using the J2 or J3 USB header? Can you plug out anything else that is connected via USB to your Mac and try again. If that doesn't work either, can you try to re install nRF Connect?

If you want to compile the project without using an older embedded studio: 

1) Open the flash placement file 

2) in the sections .text .rodata change 'size' to 'align'
