Hi,

Please create a new support case for the new issue which is away from the original scope.

RE: FLASH overflow issue + nrf5340 + DFU external flash

Hi Amanda,

Last time, I checked DFU over Wi-Fi in a separate project (net/download) that only included DFU and Wi-Fi-related functionality. Initially, I encountered some issues, which we were able to solve with your guidance. Thank you for that.

Now, I’m facing a similar issue in my main application project. This project includes BT-GATT, Wi-Fi, a timer counter for scheduled work, GPIO for hardware interrupts, I2C for an OLED display, and ADC functionality. After developing these features, I’m now working on integrating the DFU functionality. However, I’m encountering a flash overflow issue.

Could you please assist with resolving this?

log link :build_log

I have tried to remove debug logs and log related config in conf but the issue remains same.

I have checked with both 2MB and 4MB.

Here I share the proj.conf file

Happy to know that.

Hi Amanda,
Thanks for your response.

Follow the sample/ link you shared, the issues resolved, 2MB and 4MB flash is working fine.

RE: FLASH overflow issue + nrf5340 + DFU external flash

Amanda Hsieh — Wed, 28 Aug 2024 16:38:56 GMT

Hi,

From your build_log_1, I see the mcuboot uses nrf7002dk_nrf5340_cpuapp as the build target, so the board name for the mcuboot is nrf7002dk_nrf5340_cpuapp. That is the reason it cannot find the SPI in the log. Sorry for the mislead.

It doesn't need to set the mcuboot board file as the second board configuration, the system would load it automatically according to the board name for the mcuboot.

You can check out this post regarding the overlay file and this sample.

But I have tried the same code without any changes for 8MB external flash. I didn't face any error like this.

I need guidance to resolve "W: Cannot upgrade: not a compatible amount of sectors" error?

In addition to above issue, Initialy I have found that the child image/board/conf and overlay configuration is not reflected in output file - build/mcuboot. But after 2 to 3 build the config are reflected.

How can I include those file in build configuration to ensure that the config are included?

Hi Amanda,

[quote userid="77782" url="~/f/nordic-q-a/114163/flash-overflow-issue-nrf5340-dfu-external-flash/499818"]Are you using the static partition? [/quote]

No, I'm not using the static partition. The partiton.yml which I have attached is automatically generated partition only.

Are you using the static partition? If so, it seems the size of the primary slot and the second slot are not equal. You can remove the static partition and let the partition manager general the partition automatically and then use that partition.yaml as the static partition.

Hi Amanda,

After modifying the external flash configuration (sfdp-bfp) and commenting out CONFIG_SPI_NOR_SFDP_DEVICETREE=y, I was able to compile the project without overflow issues. However, I'm encountering an issue related to sector counts in both 2MB and 4MB configurations.

Observed Issue:

While debuging found that inccompatible number of sectors.

Primary Flash (1MB): 228 sectors detected
Secondary Flash (4MB): 128 sectors detected

...

1. What are the bootloader settings, especially regarding the flash size and sector layout?
2.The number of sectors is typically determined by the total flash size divided by the sector size. How to set these configuration for 2MB or 4MB flash?

Hi Amanda,
Thank you for your response.

[quote userid="77782" url="~/f/nordic-q-a/114163/flash-overflow-issue-nrf5340-dfu-external-flash/499581"]maybe the 2MB flash is not big enough for the updated image.[/quote]

We also suspect this. Therefore we tried 4MB W25Q32RV external flash, facing same issue.

I have check external flash using zephyr/sample/driver/spi_flash_at45. Both 2MB and 4MB are working fine.

Any other configuration need to check?

RE: FLASH overflow issue + nrf5340 + DFU external flash

Hi,

You can check the settings for 2MB flash to ensure the settings are correct. I think the configs should be the same and only the overlay is different. (Maybe my understanding of your flash is wrong.) If everything is correct, maybe the 2MB flash is not big enough for the updated image. Since mcuboot_secondary should be the same size of mcuboot_primary, the size of the application might not be compatible with mcuboot_primary/ mcuboot_secondary. Then, You can try to reduce the size of the application. See Memory footprint optimization.

Guess your flash is connected via SPI, so you would see that message. See this post.
