Can't flash nRF54H20 after updating the SDFW when migrating to NCS 2.8.0

[alealfaro97]

I followed the migration guide for NCS 2.8.0 here for a custom board with engineering rev B silicon. After doing so I can't flash the board anymore and it gives me this error when trying to flash:

Flashing build to 52001095
west flash -d /Users/alealfaro/Sibel/Engineering/Firmware/alice/zephyr/samples/hello_world/build --skip-rebuild --dev-id 52001095

I've tried to recover the board and erase all and program the binaries again but it's not working anymore. When checking the boot status I get this failure description:

Failure description:
Stage: Secure Domain firmware
Step: An error occurred while booting the local domains (0xaf)
Status code: -1

What can I do to recover this board?

Hi

Can you try running the following command to see the boot status of your device? nrfutil device x-boot-status-get --serial-number <serial number>

This could be related to what version of SDFW you have on the board. What NCS version were you on when you did the bring-up of the board on your end? Can you confirm the migration and flashing of the latest binaries was successful on your end? What did the nrfutil device x-suit-dfu --firmware nrf54h20_soc_binaries_v0.7.0_<revision>.zip --serial-number <serial_number> command return with?

Best regards,

Simon

I'm getting the following output when I get the boot status:

Boot status: Failure (0x0bafffff)

Failure description:

  Stage: Secure Domain firmware

  Step: An error occurred while booting the local domains (0xaf)

  Status code: -1

The nrfutil device x-suit-dfu command return successfully. I also ran nrfutil device x-sdfw-version-get --firmware-slot uslot --serial-numbel <> and got:

sdfw_version  8.0.2+0

Which is a version higher than before.
