Can't generate file with MCUBoot header.

[Kevyn Harder]

Hello,

I'm trying to make a application bootable through MCUBoot but I'm having a hard time generating the .bin file with MCUBoot header.
According to this page I should be able to turn my application bootable by adding both CONFIG_BOOTLOADER_MCUBOOT and CONFIG_SECURE_BOOT configs to my prj.conf file, right?

Doing so I still don't get a .bin (or .signed.bin) file with MCUBoot header to upload through AuTerm as advised in the Academy guide.
I do generate a zephyr.bin in my ./build/APP_NAME/zephyr folder, but I can't upload it:

Am I missing some step?

Hello,

SDK v2.7.0 introduced sysbuild configurations to enable MCUBoot and the Nordic Secure Immutable Bootloader (NSIB) replacing CONFIG_BOOTLOADER_MCUBOOT and CONFIG_SECURE_BOOT. However, it seems that the documentation you found has not been updated to reflect this. This is unfortunate, and I will report it internally.

- Migrating from multi-image builds to sysbuild - overview of Kconfig symbols which has been moved to sysbuild.

- https://academy.nordicsemi.com/courses/nrf-connect-sdk-intermediate/lessons/lesson-9-bootloaders-and-dfu-fota/ 

To enable MCUBoot in your current project, create a new file named sysbuild.conf for your sysbuild configuration and place it in the project root. Note: You must perform a clean build after adding the file for it to be detected by the build system. Then add this line:

3554.sysbuild.conf

Best regards,

Vidar

Thank you for the reply.

I tried that as well, but then I get errors when building the application:

(Sorry, inserting as code wasn't working, I don't know why)

Are you building the project for a custom board you have defined, or are you building for the nrf52840dk/nrf52840 target? The section of the build log you posted shows that you are getting multiple linker errors when trying to build the MCUBoot image because it is including the Bluetooth controller. However, I'm not sure why the bootloader would attempt to include the Bluetooth controller as this is not supported.

[Kevyn Harder]

It's a custom board based on the nRF52840 soc.

I have the board with a bootloader am I am able to update its firmware through serial USB (tried with some samples from Nordic academy). So now I need to make my main application bootable, so I can upload it through USB.

But I couldn't figure out what I need to do to generate a .bin(or a .signed.bin(?)) with the MCUboot header, so I can upload it through AuTerm as recommended in the Nordic academy course.

So, summarizing:

• I have a custom board based on the nRF52840
• I have successfully uploaded and tested a bootloader (MCUboot) following the tutorial for Serial USB upload
• I need to turn another application into bootable so I can upload it through the same method that I've used in the academy course.

[Vidar Berg]

The signed binary with the MCUBoot image header (zephyr.signed.bin) will be automatically generated if you configure your project to include the MCUBoot image (i.e., set SB_CONFIG_BOOTLOADER_MCUBOOT=y in sysbuild).

The MCUBoot build failed according to the build output you posted in the previous comment, and it is still unclear to me how the bootloader got configured to enable BLE in your project. ' This is why I was wondering if you were building the project for a custom defined board or if you were building with the nRF52840 DK as your build target.

Can you list the changes you made to include the bootloader and enable DFU in your project?

[Kevyn Harder]

I'm attaching my custom-board files here:
3487.boards.zip

My board uses a BC840 Fanstel module, which uses a nRF52840 CKAA SoC.

Let me clarify my journey in this whole application:
I have a code for this board which is working fine. I flash this code through the JTAG/SWD Interface, using a nRF52840DK board.

Now I want to be able to do DFU via USB on my board. To do so, I first followed the Academy Lessons and I was able to achieve a successful USB DFU on this board, with sample codes from the academy examples.

The next step is to be able to flash this application that I've previously developed through USB. And that's where this ticked started. By adding SB_CONFIG_BOOTLOADER_MCUBOOT=y in sysbuild, the build crashes like I reported here.

So my board has now the sample bootloader (from the academy lesson) running, but I can't generate the correct files in my previously developed application to flash through USB, via AuTerm.

Let me know if there's any additional info needed.

Thank you,
Kevyn Harder 

[Vidar Berg]

I don’t see anything in the board file that would explain why bluetooth is being enabled in the bootloader, so I assume it must be something in your project or build setup. I've put together a demo sample based on "Hello World" that should enable DFU over USB and BLE and at least builds without errors for your board. Please try building this on your end and see if you notice any relevant differences in how we configure the bootlaoder.

[Kevyn Harder]

I was able to generate the signed.bin file!
Probably because of these configs that I noticed in your given example:

CONFIG_NCS_SAMPLE_MCUMGR_BT_OTA_DFU=y

CONFIG_NCS_SAMPLE_MCUMGR_BT_OTA_DFU_SPEEDUP=y

also this:

CONFIG_MULTITHREADING=y

CONFIG_BOOT_MAX_IMG_SECTORS=256

CONFIG_PM_PARTITION_SIZE_MCUBOOT=0x60000 // I Added this since my application was too big

 

I'm still having a hard time after flashing through USB DFU, because the unit simply doesn't work after doing that, then I have to flash the bootloader all again and overwrite the flash. But I think this is associated with something else out of the scope of this ticket.

Anyway, I really appreciate your effort in helping me with this matter.
I'll verify the answer, since it seems to be solved. 

Have a great day.
