What happened ?

I have a custom nRF52832 board. Initially I tried to upload the bootloader to a nRF52832QFAA (Dollatek nRF52832 Board) and it worked perfectly. Everything works fine. Then I tried on mine and I got the following error: Parsing hex file. ERROR: The file specified is not a valid hex file, has data outside valid areas ERROR: or does not have data in valid areas. Error quemando bootloader I noticed its because I bought wrongly a nrf52832QFAB instead of QFAA and they differ in RAM/Flash size. I saw some pots out there where you can change the bootloader START ADDRESS and it works.

I was not able to solve it. I am using a J-Link progammer using Arduino.

How can I proceed?

Thanks,

Toni
