Hi,
Let me explain my situation. I have several custom boards with an nRF5340 SoC and an nPM1300 PMIC. I flashed a custom image developed with nRF Connect SDK v3.0.1, and all the boards operate correctly.
Now, I want to replace the nPM1300 with the nPM1304 to meet certain requirements and designs. Therefore, I upgraded the SDK from v3.0.1 to v3.1.1 to support the nPM1304 and reworked three nPM1304 modules on my three custom boards. After flashing the new image to these boards, two boards get stuck in the bootloader, while one board boots normally. The boot log for the failing boards is as follows:
*** Booting MCUboot v2.1.0-dev-9b4ae4cbc9e2 *** *** Using nRF Connect SDK v3.1.1-e2a97fe2578a *** *** Using Zephyr OS v4.1.99-ff8f0c579eeb *** [0:0:0.275,299] <inf> mcuboot: Starting bootloader [0:0:0.275,634] <dbg> mcuboot: context_boot_go: context_boot_go abort()
I also tried flashing the SDK v3.0.1 image to the two boards that previously failed to boot. Both boards booted normally, regardless of whether they were powered via VBAT or VBUS, and the SoC could enable LDO1 and LDO2 via I2C.
I am not sure what caused this issue. I found a similar ticket on Nordic Q&A titled "Code just logs 'abort()'". In that case, the problem was that there was no mcuboot file under the sysbuild folder. I have checked my project directory and confirmed that the mcuboot configuration file exists. Could this issue be related to the dual-image design?
Could someone please help me with this?
Please let me know if you need any additional information for debugging.
SoC: nRF5340
PMIC: nPM1304
SDK version: v3.1.1
Thank you very much!
Best regards,
Kevin
