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:

Memory settings:

Compilation settings:

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

Bootloader

Bootloader hex O3

bootloader package without BANK_VALID_APP

Bootloader HEX without BANK_VALID_APP

Memory map according to NRF Studio:

Bootloader optimisation Level 2 gets stuck on run:

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

I checked your "Bootloader Hex without BANK_VALID_APP" and the entire flash page from 0x3FC00 to 0x40000 is initialized to 0x00. How are you reserving the bootloader flash page? Line 18 in bootloader_settings.c should be the following:

uint8_t  m_boot_settings[CODE_PAGE_SIZE] __attribute__((at(BOOTLOADER_SETTINGS_ADDRESS))) __attribute__((used));
