adding buttonless dfu service to heart rate service example application

NRF_DFU_APP_DATA_AREA_SIZE must be set equal to (FDS_VIRTUAL_PAGES+FDS_VIRTUAL_PAGES_RESERVED) * 4096.

Hi, do I need to change the NRF_DFU_APP_DATA_AREA_SIZE to the new value? I think this area size multiples of flash page size

Hi,

I see you've increased the number of FDS pages from 3 to 4 in your app, but you haven't reserved this extra flash page in your bootloader (see NRF_DFU_APP_DATA_AREA_SIZE). This is an issue because it allows the bootloader to overwrite and potentially corrupt one of your FDS pages during a DFU.

Hi Vidar,

I will attach both files. kindly check and let me knowdevzone.nordicsemi.com/.../0383.secure_5F00_bootloader.zip devzone.nordicsemi.com/.../ble_5F00_app_5F00_hrs_5F00_LESC_5F00_BEACON_5F00_problem_5F00_with_5F00_bonding.zip

Hi Srinivasa,

It does not make sense that the error arises after the connection has been established. Please upload your current application project, along with the bootloader project you are using, so I can review the configuration. You can zip and upload the entire SDK if that is easier.

Regards,

Vidar

Hi Vidar,

I have been working with the HRS (Heart Rate Service) example without making any modifications. Initially, after flashing the example, everything worked fine. I was able to pair and bond the device successfully. However, after erasing the bond information from the phone and attempting to pair and bond again, it didn’t work. Once I enabled re-pairing, it worked as expected.

Next, I added the buttonless DFU service to the HRS example and performed an OTA update. The file was transferred successfully from the mobile device to the nRF device, and the device restarted, began advertising, and allowed connection and bonding. However, after 2 seconds, the device disconnected.

I deleted the bond information from the mobile device and tried reconnecting. The device connected and bonded successfully but disconnected again after 2 seconds. I then attempted to debug the issue, I got the above error. kindly let me know the solution.

Regards,

Srinivasa

Hi,

Please respond to my suggestions and comments. Did you set the allow_repairing flag as I suggested? Doing so will allow you to pair again when the bonding information has been deleted on the phone but not on the device.

The other error with the FDS initialization error will prevent bonding altogether. However, it's not clear what you did to trigger this error. I can test DFU and the HRS example, but I won't be able to reproduce this specific error. Are you always getting this error now?

Hi Vidhar,

Is there any update on this, your response is significant for completing the project.

Srinivasa

could you please try OTA with the existing example?

[quote user="srinivasa m"]I tried to connect again but it is not connecting but the device is bonded. I have tried deleting the bonding information on the nRF connect app and again initiated the connection and bonding same issue is arising. [/quote]

To support this scenario, you need to set the .allow_repairing flag as shown in this post: RE: SDK15 paring problem . But it is still not clear when you get the NRF_ERROR_INTERNAL errors shown in the log you posted earlier.

RE: adding buttonless dfu service to heart rate service example application

srinivasa m — Tue, 10 Sep 2024 12:49:57 GMT

yes,

1. first, I used examples of HRS and flashed the device. from my nRF connect app I can connect and get bonded with the device.

2. second thing is I added the buttonless dfu characteristics to the HRS example. and I did the following procedure

I have enabled the NRF_DFU_BLE_BUTTONLESS_SUPPORT_BONDS is enable in application and NRF_DFU_BLE_REQUIRES_BONDS enabled in secure bootloader and remaining I followed as per procedure as mentioned in nordic infocenter.

first I generate bl_settings.hex using following command

.\nrfutil.exe settings generate --family NRF52 --application ble_app_hrs_pca10040_s132.hex --application-version 1 --bootloader-version 1 --bl-settings-version 2 bl_settings.hex

next command I used below for generating bl_sd_settings_app.hex

PS C:\nRF_SDK> mergehex --merge bl_settings.hex secure_bootloader_ble_s132_pca10040.hex s132_nrf52_7.2.0_softdevice.hex ble_app_hrs_pca10040_s132.hex --output bl_sd_settings_app.hex

for generating package I used following command

PS C:\nRF_SDK> .\nrfutil pkg generate --hw-version 52 --application-version 2 --application ble_app_hrs_pca10040_s132.hex --sd-req 0x101 --sd-id 0x101 --key-file private.key BEACON_DFU_SEC_TEST.zip

I flashed the bl_sd_settings_app.hex to the controller using segger j_flash and the device restarted and started advertising. I tried to connect and bond with the device, but the device was bonded and disconnected after 3 seconds. I tried to connect again but it is not connecting but the device is bonded. I have tried deleting the bonding information on the nRF connect app and again initiated the connection and bonding same issue is arising.

regards,

Srinivasa

No, because I don't know what code changes you've made since uploading the original version. Also, in your comments above, you mentioned that you were able to bond initially, but then it stopped working. I need to know the steps to reproduce that.

did you try the attached project?

RE: adding buttonless dfu service to heart rate service example application

Vidar Berg — Tue, 10 Sep 2024 11:28:18 GMT

I need to reproduce the issue on my end to identify the problem, and for that, I will need your current project along with step-by-step instructions on how to reproduce it.

RE: adding buttonless dfu service to heart rate service example application

srinivasa m — Tue, 10 Sep 2024 09:34:02 GMT

Hi,

current version is nRF5_SDK_17.1.0_ddde560 and segger embedded studio for ARMV5.68.

yes, I followed the same still error persists. could you please help me out on this

Hi Srinivasa,

The Flash Data Storage (FDS) failed to be initialized. This can happen if the flash area is already occupied with other data. Please do a full chip erase before you program the application and see if you get the same error.

Hi Vidar,

thank you very much issue is resolved. but when I do OTA, without pairing and bonding OTA is happening properly. when it comes to pairing and bonding, I have enabled the NRF_DFU_BLE_BUTTONLESS_SUPPORT_BONDS is enable in application and NRF_DFU_BLE_REQUIRES_BONDS enabled in secure bootloader and remaining I followed as per procedure as mentioned in nordic infocenter.

first I generate bl_settings.hex using following command

.\nrfutil.exe settings generate --family NRF52 --application ble_app_hrs_pca10040_s132.hex --application-version 1 --bootloader-version 1 --bl-settings-version 2 bl_settings.hex

next command I used below for generating bl_sd_settings_app.hex

PS C:\nRF_SDK> mergehex --merge bl_settings.hex secure_bootloader_ble_s132_pca10040.hex s132_nrf52_7.2.0_softdevice.hex ble_app_hrs_pca10040_s132.hex --output bl_sd_settings_app.hex

I flashed the bl_sd_settings_app.hex to controller using segger j_flash and device restarted and started advertising. i tried to connect and bonding with device, the device is bonded and disconnected after 3 seconds. i tried to connect again but it is not connecting but device is bonded. i have tried by deleting the bonding information on nrf connect app and again initiated the connection and bonding same issue is arising.

could you please help me with this? I appreciate quick response because I in a phase of project dead line

Best Regards,

Srinivasa

Hi,

Thanks for the project. The invalid state error was returned by the call to pm_register() in ble_dfu_buttonless_init->ble_dfu_buttonless_backend_init(). I overlooked this function earlier when I was trying to figure out why the service init function could be returning this error.

pm_register() returns this error because the peer manager module was not initialized at this point. The solution is to initialize the peer manager with peer_manager_init() before you initialize the service.

Best regards,

Vidar

Hello Srinivasa,

I don't see anything inside ble_dfu_buttonless_init() that may cause the function to return with NRF_ERROR_INVALID_STATE. Could you upload your project so I can try to debug it here?

Best regards,

Vidar
