NFC and FOTA does not work

[Marelcom]

Hi

SDK: nRF Connect v2.6.1
uP: nRF52832

In my project I try to compbine NFC and FOTA (DFU over BLE). First I did setup a NFC project from the example "writable_ndef_msg". This is running. Then I did setup a demo project based on that example: https://academy.nordicsemi.com/courses/nrf-connect-sdk-intermediate/lessons/lesson-8-bootloaders-and-dfu-fota/

But after combining those two example project, FOTA does not run. In the "Device Manager" App on my mobile phone I received a "GATT CONN TIMEOUT" error, after starting a firmware upgrade. To speed up the start time, CONFIG_BOOT_VALIDATE_SLOT0=n is set to no in child_image/mcuboot.conf

I think I missed to set a configuration in the prj.conf file but I have no idea what could be wrong.

Further could that be a problem that NFC is allowed to write to the flash?

CONFIG_MPU_ALLOW_FLASH_WRITE=y
CONFIG_FLASH=y
CONFIG_FLASH_PAGE_LAYOUT=y
CONFIG_NVS=y

Attached you find my project.

Thanks and best regards
Markus

Markus, I am really sorry for late response, We did not find anything useful in your sniffer trace as it seems like you are not seeing the sniffer by filtering. Also in your second picture we do not see any nearby devices advertising, so it seems like the sniffer is not working right in your second image? Is it possible that you flashed your firmware into sniffer instead of the DK?

You see some sort of timeout after enabling NFC, having some serial logs from the nRF52832 would have been helpful.

Hi Susheel

Thanks for your replay. You right, something went wrong with the sniffer. No I get some log data. But DFU is still not working. Here is the sniffer log file: /cfs-file/__key/communityserver-discussions-components-files/4/NFC_2B00_DFU_5F00_sniffer-Log.pcapng

This is the serial log from the nRF52832
