Bootloader hardfault

Sergy

Hi,

Im trying to use BLE DFU Bootloader from examples. I loaded SD8 and then bootloader via nrfStudio (dont have a valid app flashed), but I cant see the device from Android app. I decided to do some debugging via Keil. I recompiled Bootloader with no optimisation and moved bootloader address to 0x3A000.

If I try to debug in Keil it doesnt stop at main, but if i manually press stop it gets into hardfault: image description

Im using Revision 3 chip. What do I do wrong?

    Your application is 70kB and not 47kB. This means that you need at least 140kB of application flash space( two banks of 70kB each) when using a Dual Bank Bootloader. If you use the default ROM settings for the bootloader, i.e. the bootloader starts at 0x3C000 then you'll have

    0x3C000 - 0x18000 = 0x24000( 144kB left)

    However, extending the bootloader section in order to debug the bootloader you are left with

    0x3A000 - 0x18000 = 0x22000( 136kB left)

    which is not enough and you will get the Data Size Exceeds Limiterror

    The bootloader hexfile starts at 0x3A000 and ends at 0x288FC0, which is way above the total flash space of 0x40000 (256 kB). How did you change the bootloader from dual bank to single bank bootloader?
