The files has a prefixed name “_pca10056.hex” at the back. If you choose the wrong *.hex file, the example will not work. You can take a look at the white sticker which is paste on top of your nRF52840-DK board to confirm which board you have. One is for pca10040 development kit board, and the other is pca10056 development kit board. Please take note that there are project folder for different type of development board. The source code can also be found in the project directory. Under the directory “examples\peripheral\blinky\hex\” & “examples\peripheral\led_softblink\hex\”.

These 2 *.hex files are LED demonstration example which is found in the nRF5 SDK zip file that you downloaded eariler. Here is a simplest way to test if the hex file is successfully loaded (or programmed) into the nRF52840-DK development kit. Nordic SDK contains both the project source code as well as the compiled *.hex file. Hex file the machine codes for the nRF52840 microcontroller chip after compiled from the source code. To help you get start, to be in control of the nRF52840-DK board, I have this simple guide here to help you load in the hex file onto your nRF52840-DK board, to build up your confident. Method 1 to program nRF52840 development kit via USB Storage Drive In case you are having issue downloading from the official website. Here is a pre-downloaded copy of nRF5 SDK ver 16.0.0 (nRF5SDK160098a08e2.zip, file size about 153MB)

The nRF5 SDK zip files contains many example projects for your to try and test.
