manage and remove DEBUG flags for FW in production stage

Hi,

[quote user="StefXinet"]I'm using pca10040_s132_ble_debug example but with S332 SD (7.0.1) because I need ANT+ features.[/quote]

There is no S332 example, but the closest project will be the S212 projects:

nRF5_SDK_17.0.2_d674dde\examples\dfu\secure_bootloader\pca10040_s212_ant_debug

Please also check out this post.

What S132 version are you using? For the application firmware command, it should be --sd-req 0x0101 if you are using s132_nrf52_7.2.0.

Could you provide the logs for Bootloader: DEBUG works with Firmware: DEBUG and RELEASE?

I will start the holiday tomorrow and will not reply until January. 09.2024. If this case is urgent to support. Please create a new support case.

Merry Christmas & Happy New Year.

Amanda H.

Hello

I'm using pca10040_s132_ble_debug example but with S332 SD (7.0.1) because I need ANT+ features.

the Bootloader is compiled with these flags for DEBUG:

DEBUG_BUILD DEBUG_NRF NRF_DFU_DEBUG_VERSION S332 BLE_STACK_SUPPORT_REQD BOARD_CUSTOM CONFIG_GPIO_AS_PINRESET CONFIG_NFCT_PINS_AS_GPIOS FLOAT_ABI_HARD NRF52 NRF52832_XXAA NRF52_PAN_74 NRF_DFU_SETTINGS_VERSION=2 NRF_DFU_SVCI_ENABLED NRF_SD_BLE_API_VERSION=7 SOFTDEVICE_PRESENT SVC_INTERFACE_CALL_AS_NORMAL_FUNCTION __HEAP_SIZE=0 uECC_ENABLE_VLI_API=0 uECC_OPTIMIZATION_LEVEL=3 uECC_SQUARE_FUNC=0 uECC_SUPPORT_COMPRESSED_POINT=0 uECC_VLI_NATIVE_LITTLE_ENDIAN=1

the Bootloader is compiled with these flags for RELEASE:

RELEASE_BUILD S332 BLE_STACK_SUPPORT_REQD BOARD_CUSTOM CONFIG_GPIO_AS_PINRESET CONFIG_NFCT_PINS_AS_GPIOS FLOAT_ABI_HARD NRF52 NRF52832_XXAA NRF52_PAN_74 NRF_DFU_SETTINGS_VERSION=2 NRF_DFU_SVCI_ENABLED NRF_SD_BLE_API_VERSION=7 SOFTDEVICE_PRESENT SVC_INTERFACE_CALL_AS_NORMAL_FUNCTION __HEAP_SIZE=0 uECC_ENABLE_VLI_API=0 uECC_OPTIMIZATION_LEVEL=3 uECC_SQUARE_FUNC=0 uECC_SUPPORT_COMPRESSED_POINT=0 uECC_VLI_NATIVE_LITTLE_ENDIAN=1

The Application firmware is packed with these parameters for DEBUG:

"%cd%\nrfutil\nrfutil.exe" pkg generate ^
--debug-mode ^
--application "%cd%\_build\release\release.hex" ^
--application-version 0001 ^
--hw-version 52 ^
--sd-req 0x0126 ^
--key-file "%cd%\nrfutil\private.pem" "%cd%\_output\%product%_%release%.zip"

The Application firmware is packed with these parameters for RELEASE:

"%cd%\nrfutil\nrfutil.exe" pkg generate ^
--application "%cd%\_build\release\release.hex" ^
--application-version 0001 ^
--hw-version 52 ^
--sd-req 0x0126 ^
--key-file "%cd%\nrfutil\private.pem" "%cd%\_output\%product%_%release%.zip"

This is what I'm trying:

Bootloader  Firmware    DFU works?
DEBUG       DEBUG       done
DEBUG       RELEASE     fail
RELEASE     DEBUG       fail
RELEASE     RELEASE     fail

Every time the bootloader is working fine and between every test I perform a full nRF52 erase.

What is not working?
Thanks.

Hi,

[quote user="StefXinet"]I based my bootloader on pca10040_s132_ble_debug example.[/quote]

Is it possible to test with the bootloader on pca10040_s132_ble?

With --debug-mode, it would stitch to Debug mode and enable version check skipping.

Could you try to change the application-version number?

What S132 version are you using?

The firmware ID 0x126 is s112_nrf52_7.3.0

[quote user="StefXinet"]What should I do to go in production stage?[/quote]

Do you modify the pca10040_s132_ble_debug example for the development? If not, you could use pca10040_s132_ble without the debug version which would not show the debug log.

sorry, I did a mistake: I based my bootloader on pca10040_s132_ble_debug example.

What should I do to go in production stage?

Can you try pca10040e_s112_ble?

RE: manage and remove DEBUG flags for FW in production stage

StefXinet — Fri, 15 Dec 2023 14:34:18 GMT

I'm using the latest SDK: nRF5_SDK_17.1.0_ddde560

The bootloader I'm using is the \dfu\secure_bootloader\pca10040e_s112_ble_debug

Hi,

Which nRF5 SDK version are you using?

Are you using the example bootloader or the custom bootloader?

Maybe you could try to test with the non-debug version of the example bootloader.
