OTA - Not working in Zephyr but works in SoftDevice

Neeraj Dhekale

Hello,

I am using Celium device's BE33 (nRF52833 based) Click here for datasheet. there are crystal pins exposed in this controller but I dont want to use external crystal so I have added below to prj.conf

CONFIG_CLOCK_CONTROL_NRF_K32SRC_RC=y
CONFIG_CLOCK_CONTROL_NRF_K32SRC_500PPM=y

I am trying to implement https://getwavecake.com/blog/adding-ota-dfu-to-a-nordic-zephyr-project/ This example which is a reference of Nordic/Zephyr/samples/bluetooth/peripheral_hr example.

Here I am facing a boot problem. Once I set CONFIG_BOOTLOADER_MCUBOOT=y this problem begins. I need to touch to the crystal pins once to get started otherwise it won't start on its own. But when I am using softdevice DFU example it works well without the need to touch the crystal pins. why so ? Am I doing anything wrong?

Thanks in advance.

Regards,

Neeraj Dhekale

    Hi, 

    Try to create child_image/mcuboot.conf and add those configs to the mcuboot.conf.

    Hello Amanda,

    Thanks for your reply.

    Could you please help me to guide me on how to create a child image? I tried creating a folder in root directory and mcuboot.conf inside it with configuration. but I am not able to link it. While making the build it is not considering the mcuboot.

    Also tried to copy subsys example of smp_svr into root and tried to map it with below code in CMakeLists.txt

    # SPDX-License-Identifier: Apache-2.0

cmake_minimum_required(VERSION 3.20.0)
set(mcuboot_CONFIG_BOOT_SIGNATURE_KEY_FILE \"${CMAKE_CURRENT_SOURCE_DIR}/priv.pem\")

find_package(Zephyr REQUIRED HINTS $ENV{ZEPHYR_BASE})
project(peripheral_hr)

FILE(GLOB app_sources src/*.c)
target_sources(app PRIVATE
  ${app_sources}
  )
  add_child_image(
    NAME smp_svr
    SOURCE_DIR ${CMAKE_CURRENT_LIST_DIR}/smp_svr
)
zephyr_library_include_directories(${ZEPHYR_BASE}/samples/bluetooth)

    But it shows error to add_child_image function in CMakeLists.txt file.

    Thanks and regards,

    I have followed all the steps the same way you have suggested  in the above link... I am able to build and flash successful.. but the above problem persist as I have mentioned in my 1st main thread.

    Why do I need to toch to crystal pins to make it start. once it is is started I don't need to touch and DFU works very well.

    Now I can see mcuboot under build. This means child_image has been considered to it. I hope so.

    Am I doing anything wrong?

    Thanks and regards,

    Hi, 

    Try to add CONFIG_CLOCK_CONTROL_NRF_K32SRC_RC=y and CONFIG_CLOCK_CONTROL_NRF_K32SRC_500PPM=y in the child_image/mcuboot/prj.conf.

    Hi Amanda,

    I tried to add the above 2 lines.

    After adding the above 2 lines in mcubot/prj.conf It starts displaying an error below during build.

    What can be the issue?

    The driver requires the use of multithreading, which enables certain kernel APIs. Try adding CONFIG_MULTITHREADING=y as well to the prj.conf of mcuboot.
