nRF51822-mkit Hex vs Bin

(I couldn't start a discussion so this entered under question even though it is just FYI)

To load a bin or hex file into the nRF51822-mkit:

  • bin:
    • connect USB while RESET pressed
    • copy bin near mbed_bl.htm (USB Drive from mkit)
    • wait till completed (USB Drive vanishes and LED blinks steady)
    • disconnect mkit from USB
    • reconnect mkit to USB (without Reset).
  • hex:
    • Connect mkit to USB (without Reset)
    • copy hex near mbed.htm (USB Drive from mkit)
    • FYI: If powered with Reset Pressed then will get error of insufficient space when trying to load large hex file.
