Hi,

Q1: Have you tried to enter debug mode to see where it is getting stuck?

Q2: Can you try to delete your build folder and regenerate the build to see if that could help the scenario?

Kind regards,

Håkon

well when I increase it to 150k it seems the boot is not happening, I don't have any logs except

*** Booting nRF Connect SDK v2.5.0 ***

Though I still have RAM :

Memory region Used Size Region Size %age Used
FLASH: 776184 B 944 KB 80.30%
RAM: 249600 B 416 KB 58.59%
IDT_LIST: 0 GB 2 KB 0.00%

Do you know why?

Hi Sylvain,

You should increase the HEAP_MEM_POOL_SIZE to around 150k. Are you running out of memory in your application?

Kind regards,

Håkon

Hi Håkon,

I was able to remove the rerror by increasing the CONFIG_HEAP_MEM_POOL_SIZE to 95000, though if I increase it more than 100000, I can build and flash but then I only get the :

*** Booting nRF Connect SDK v2.5.0 ***

Do you know why?

Thank you,

Sylvain

Hi,

wi-fi needs more heap and several sockets:

CONFIG_POSIX_MAX_FDS=10 # or higher, depending on your overall sockets

CONFIG_HEAP_MEM_POOL_SIZE=153600

You can have a look at the example profiles listed here, with config suggestions:

Hi Håkon,

Thank you for the quick answer, you will find the boot log and the conf files attached.
Please note that I disabled the DFU on theses conf files.

For now, I am building for the nrf7002DK.

Hi,

Q1: Can you share the full boot log?

Q2: Which board do you build for?

Q3: Can you share your prj configuration(s) ?

Kind regards,

Håkon
