    Hi,

    Could you please specify which Flash Programmer 2 version you are using? I woul recommend to update to the latest version.

    It should be possible to use Bim.hex+Stack.hex+ App.hex. Could you please share the error log provided by Flash Programmer when using app.hex?

    Hi Toravi,

    Overlapping flash area in page: 19, offset address 0x0000 ==> Two pieces of hex files are expected to be written at the same place. This won't be possible.

    I am a bit confused by the name of your third image (xxxx_oad_merged.hex). Could you comment where does this file comes from? Would it be possible it is already a merge of the bim, stack and app?

    Hi,

    After Build the Project 

    1ateway wifi/hex File/multi_role_cc2640r2lp_app_FlashROM_StackLibrary_CacheAsRAM_oad_merged.hex

    1ateway wifi/hex File/multi_role_cc2640r2lp_app_FlashROM_StackLibrary_CacheAsRAM_oad_merged.bin

    both files are generated in workspace ( Generated in FlashROM_StackLibrary folder)

    Hi Rohit,

    If it was not clear before, the issue you are experiencing is caused by the image multi_role_cc2640r2lp_app_FlashROM_StackLibrary_CacheAsRAM_oad_merged.hex. This image already contains the stack and the app. You may want to retry flashing the device by only trying to flash the BIM + the App/Stack merged image.

    To be more specific, the merged image is obtained using oad_image_tool.

    I hope this will help,

    Regards,

    Hi,

    I am not sure why this did not work for you.

    I would recommend to keep using the solution you were already using.

    Thanks and regards,
