This is only required for bootloaders from nRF5 SDK 15.1 and newer.
If you want to skip backup page generation, use --no-backup option.

Generated Bootloader DFU settings .hex file and stored it in: settings.hex

This is the command I used to generate setting.hex.The primary address of my app is 0x19000.

This is my hex distribution. The library used is nRF5_SDK_17.1.0_ddde560.
Now the app is not functioning properly. Why is that?
The log indicates that the jump has been made, but the app did not execute.
thanks

Hello,

The settings page looks to be correctly generated. The bootloader also sees it as valid since it does try to jump to the application. Please try to read out the CPU registers after the jump to see if this may provide us with some more clues as to what's wrong.

Reading the CPU register with nrfutil from command line:

$ nrfutil device cpu-register-read  

Best regards,

Vidar

[shsh]

What about this one?

nrfutil device cpu-register-read
error: unrecognized subcommand 'cpu-register-read'

Hi,

Thanks. The readout shows that a fault exception has been raised. Are you building the bootloader with the default optimization setting? Reason for asking is that the jump_to_addr() function is known to fail if compiler optimization is not enabled.  It's because the implementation assumes that the input arguments will not be pushed on stack.

If you need to troubleshoot this further, I suggest you start a debug session with your bootloader project and place a breakpoint in jump_to_addr() and try to single step from there to see if you can see when the fault is triggered.

Regarding the failing nrfutil command, it seems like you are using and older version. To upgrade, run: nrfutil self-upgrade && nrfutil upgrade.

您好，我刚刚做了一个调试，发现应用程序可以启动，但只执行一次就卡住了。这很奇怪，因为它不会发生在裸机应用程序中。

[shsh]

Look at this picture. There is an abnormal situation in this picture. That is, after I download the program on the left into the chip, the chip will generate three programs of approximately the same size occupying bytes in the "setting file" area. Is this normal?

[Vidar Berg]

Please debug the application then to see where the program hangs.

The settings and MBR parameter page are updated by the bootloader at runtime, so yes, it is expected to change.

Hello, I just did a debug and found that the application can start but gets stuck after only one execution. This is very strange because it doesn't happen in the bare-metal application.
There is no low-speed crystal oscillator on my board. I have selected the internal RC option in the DFU mode. However, I couldn't find the definition of the low-speed clock in the app. The app I'm using is the UART routine. The current situation is that once the app enters the printf function, it will freeze. Including the sending function of SPI, it would get stuck when entering. I have never figured out the reason for this. Because on the bare machine, printf and the SPI sending function work normally.

[shsh]

I found that the app kept restarting. After running once, it would freeze and then restart.

Is UART_HWFC set to 'True'? In that case, please set it to 'False' and see if it still hangs.
