Exercise 3 – FOTA over Bluetooth Low Energy example inter_less8_exer3_solution not build with nrf7002dk

[ChiragBhavsar]

Hi,

I used the reference code from inter_less8_exer3_solution and successfully built it with the nrf5340dk board. However, when building it for the nrf7002dk, I encountered an error.

To resolve this, I created a child_image/mcuboot.conf file and added the following parameters. This allowed the code to build successfully, but the SMP service still wasn't generated.

CONFIG_BOOTLOADER_MCUBOOT=y

CONFIG_NCS_SAMPLE_MCUMGR_BT_OTA_DFU=y

Hi,

Yes, I am able to see the SMP service. I built the app_update.bin file from the build/zephyr/ directory and successfully completed the DFU file transfer.

However, after the DFU update, the device does not disconnect. What could be the reason for this?

I Change BLE ADV Name and update the DFU But Still BLE did't disconnect from the mobile app,

For child_image/mcuboot/boards/nrf7002dk_nrf5340_cpuapp, I believe this configuration is intended for external flash, so I didn’t use it and instead created a child_image/mcuboot.conf file.

I believe you need to trigger the disconnect from the central side, which in this case is the mobile application. The peripheral_uart is the main application you’re using here, and as far as I know, the application won’t disconnect itself. Try disconnecting from the mobile application, or configure your application to disconnect after a reset (such as after a firmware update).

If you are not configuring the external flash then I think the way enabled those config is correct.

Thank you for your support!

I have another question: when performing FOTA, should we disable the watchdog timer? If so, how can we disable it?

Hello,

I would appreciate it if you could create a new ticket for this query, as it covers a new topic or differs from the original question. This helps other users who rely on DevZone as a reference.

Please refer to this thread, which explains how the watchdog is fed at key intervals.
