Programming application

This function lets you program an application onto the chip.

Before nRFgo Studio starts programming, it verifies that the HEX file matches the actual memory configuration. If it matches, nRFgo Studio continues with the programming, if not, it stops the programming and returns an error message. For example, if an application requires the SoftDevice on the chip, it will check the memory configuration for the SoftDevice before programming the chip.

Important: This programming will not set up any memory Regions.

Program an application onto the chip in the Program Application tab.

1. Select the HEX file to program. Click Browse to find the file.
2. Select if you want enable or disable readback protection of the entire chip.

   If you enable readback protection, you will have to do an Erase all to reprogram the chip again.

   A chip that is programmed with Lock entire chip from readback enabled will not work with a development toolchain. To make it work you must perform Erase all. Lock entire chip from readback can be used to prevent an accidental overwrite of chip content.

3. Click Program.
