Hi phlb,

Attached is the hex files that I used to test here. There is a bootloader hex and the application hex. The "Enter bootloader" button is removed just in case you don't have the same button on your board. The application hex is the HRM with dfu. Could you please try to flash the bootloader and S110 v8.0 and do DFU to update the application hex ?

This is just to clarify the issue was not with the hardware.

Also please send us your Master Control panel log file when you test with your bootloader. nrf51422_xxac_s110.hex

Bootloader_S110v8.0.hex

I use HEX file generated by IAR with my application project (based on Nordic HRS example). It's the same behavior with original Nordic HRS HEX file.

Sometimes upgrade process is done without any problem, and sometimes I retry several times the upgrade process failed at 20%, 60%... .

In bootloader I modified the main.c. I removed led and button code management for the Nordic Development Board.

I flashed the application, bootloader and soft device with the nrfGoStudio.

Another detail, I use a nrf51822 AC.

I don't have a sniffer hardware and software at this day.

I modified the ICF file for linker.

/###ICF### Section handled by ICF editor, don't touch! / /-Editor annotation file-/ / IcfEditorFile="$TOOLKIT_DIR$\config\ide\IcfEditor\cortex_v1_0.xml" / /-Specials-/ define symbol ICFEDIT_intvec_start = 0x3c000; /-Memory Regions-/ define symbol ICFEDIT_region_ROM_start = 0x3c000; define symbol ICFEDIT_region_ROM_end = 0x3fbff; define symbol ICFEDIT_region_RAM_start = 0x20002c00; define symbol ICFEDIT_region_RAM_end = 0x20007f7f; /-Sizes-/ define symbol ICFEDIT_size_cstack = 0x800; define symbol ICFEDIT_size_heap = 0x200; /*** End of ICF editor section. ###ICF###*/

define memory mem with size = 4G; define region ROM_region = mem:[from ICFEDIT_region_ROM_start to ICFEDIT_region_ROM_end]; define region RAM_region = mem:[from ICFEDIT_region_RAM_start to ICFEDIT_region_RAM_end];

define block CSTACK with alignment = 8, size = ICFEDIT_size_cstack { }; define block HEAP with alignment = 8, size = ICFEDIT_size_heap { };

initialize by copy { readwrite }; do not initialize { section .noinit };

keep { section .intvec }; place at address mem:ICFEDIT_intvec_start { readonly section .intvec }; place in ROM_region { readonly }; place in RAM_region { readwrite, block CSTACK, block HEAP };

Hi Phlb,

Which image file did you use to update the firmware ? How did you flash your application at the beginning ? Did you modify anything with the bootloader ? Could you try to capture a sniffer trace when the failure occurs ?
