flash programmer 2 v1.4.0 and cc2538 - Failed to read file .hex

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: CC2538, UNIFLASH, Z-STACK

Hello,
I'm testing the option of flash programmer 2 - v1.4.0 with the CC2538.
I generated an image .hex by IAR. This image is recorded correctly with IAR and Uniflash.
The intention of using the flash programmer is to assign, along with an image, the MAC address and the Certicom certificate. I'm using cert.txt file that comes in the stack Z-Stack Smart Energy 1.1.0 and am with the following message when trying to burn the image with flash programmer:

C:\Program Files (x86)\Texas Instruments\SmartRF Tools\Flash Programmer 2\bin>srfprog.exe -t lsidx(0) -e pif -p epfw(0) -f device-v002.hex -c ekf(cert.txt, 0x0027FF6C)

Texas Instruments SmartRF Flash Programmer 2 v1.4.0-windows
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Reading file: device-v002.hex.
Encryption Key File given. Reading file certCopiaConvert.txt
Flash address: 0x0027FF6C
ERROR: The address is overlapping with already existing data. address: 0x0027FF6C

Failed to read file device-v002.hex.


The same error occurs when it use the GUI programmer flash. Before attempting to write the image I run cleanup option "Forced Mass Erase" of the flash programmer. I also tested with the "Project / Download / Erase Memory" option in the IAR.

I'm using SmartRF06 Evaluation Board.

I thank for the help.

    Hi Suyash, 

    I followed this documentation, I exported the hex as indicated by this section. Could confirm the address flash memory initial for the EKF command? I used the address  example 0x27FF6C. This is the correct address?

    Hi Suyash,

    Remaking the recording procedure I came to the following result:
