I'm exploring with mBed SDK and somehow it only create a BIN file with their "tests", any ideas how to create the mBed HEX file? Any examples would be great!

C:\mbed-master\workspace_tools>python make.py -m NRF51822 -t GCC_ARM -d D:\ -s COM61 -p 8 Building project ECHO (NRF51822, GCC_ARM) Compile: main.cpp Compile: test_env.cpp Link: echo Elf2Bin: echo Image: C:\mbed-master\build\test\NRF51822\GCC_ARM\MBED_A9\echo.hex [ERROR] [Errno 2] No such file or directory: 'C:
mbed-master
build
test
NRF51822
GCC_ARM
MBED_A9
echo.hex'

Just download the file like you would download a .bin file on other mbed products. The nRF just happens to use .hex files instead.

If you already got the .hex file, I believe you already familiar with mbed online editor. Now, just connect your nRF51822-mKit to your PC using USB cable. Your mbed will act just like any usb memory (for example with Windows you should be able to see it on your Computer folder) . Just copy the .hex file into mbed usb memory (root folder), it will automatically flash the program after the copy finish (try reset if it not work). No other software required. That's how mbed platform work, simple isn't it?

Oh, if you are asking about using offline tools (gcc, etc) to flash the result (i.e. flashing nordic's api binary yourself), you should make that clear on your question. (link to Emilio's blog is not enough) Why don't you ask there (commenting the blog) for step by step tutorial (if any).
