  Okay I figured out my own problem :)
  on line 2080 of makefile

  	@echo FIXME - had to set --overlap=replace
  	python scripts/hexmerge.py --overlap=replace $(SOFTDEVICE) $(NRF_BOOTLOADER) $(PROJ_NAME).hex -o tmp.hex
  

  and line 2086 of makefile

  	python scripts/hexmerge.py $(SOFTDEVICE) $(PROJ_NAME).hex -o tmp.hex
  

  I had to add the "python" preface which was missing before the call to hexmerge.py - this fixed the merging problem.

  Also to fix the vagrant setup problems I changed the provision.sh by adding the top three lines and commenting out the lower ones.

  I also edited the vagrant_setup.sh to include the correct path to new version of gcc-arm-embedded

  export PATH="$PATH:/usr/local/gcc-arm-embedded/bin/"
  

  I am not sure this is all correct but when I upload hex files for the NRF52832DK they now show up as bluetooth devices and some basic commands work :)

  Do you have any advice for building these on windows using Vagrant for the NRF52832DK? I have tried out the current vagrant setup but believe the version of arm-none-eabi-gcc it installs in the provision.sh script may not be compatible with the current master branch?

  https://github.com/espruino/Espruino/blob/master/scripts/provision.sh

  From what I can tell based on this link:
  https://travis-ci.org/espruino/Espruino/jobs/175343830

  you are building with the current version:
  arm-none-eabi-gcc (GNU Tools for ARM Embedded Processors) 5.4.1 20160919 (release) [ARM/embedded-5-branch revision 240496]

  Right now on gcc-arm-none-eabi-4_9-2015q1 it mostly works but fails at the end with this:

  GEN espruino_1v88.180_nrf52832.lst
