Where to specify the output file for the build on Embedded Studio

Where is the output Hex file for building the project on Segger Embedded Studio?

[Jørgen Holmefjord]

Hi,

You can edit the settings to make Segger Embedded Studio generate a hex file. Open the project settings, under Linker -> Linker, select hex in "Additional Output Format" settings. The hex file will then be generated in the Output\[tagert]\Exe directory.

Best regards,

Jørgen

This worked ! thank you, however when I flash the generated Hex File my SoftDevice doesn't show up? I'm using NRF Studio to flash the Hex file. Is this a settings problem?? Or Memory allocation problem??

[Jørgen Holmefjord]

What do you mean by "SoftDevice doesn't show up"? You need to flash the softdevice separately, the generated hex file does not include the softdevice. You also need to modify the memory settings in SES to make room for the softdevice. This is described in section Building of this tutorial.

No worries, thank you for the assistance.

Is it possible to have both generated in one building process: HEX and BIN?

(I want to avoid to change settings every time I make HEX and compile again to get BIN, since I need both image formats)

Thanks
