How to create mBed HEX file for Nordic mKit with mBed SDK???
I'm exploring with mBed SDK and somehow it only create a BIN file with their "tests" (See below), 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

Hi,
it looks like that make.py script file supports only binary files, not hex. As it invokes a function
def link_program(self, r, tmp_path, name)
which calls then elf2bin, which does not cover a case for nordic chips. You can extend it and send a pull request on github. Thanks.
