I apologize, the examples/bsp folder was missing. I have uploaded a new zip with the folder.

hi ,

i configured the path. after make i got this error.

nRF51_SDK_7.2.0_gcc/components/libraries/bootloader_dfu/dfu_transport_ble.c:18:20: fatal error: boards.h: No such file or directory #include "boards.h" ^ compilation terminated. make: *** [_build/dfu_transport_ble.o] Error 1

i used the armgcc/dual_bank_ble_s110/makefile

Attached is the backported version of SDK 7.2 where I have removed all examples except dfu. I backported the gcc support from SDK 9 into SDK 7.2 for the S110 Dual Bank Bootloader example, i.e. added and modified some source /header files in the components folder and did some minor changes in dfu_ble_svc.c

You should be able to just extract the file structure and run make in the armgcc folder, but you might have to alter the Makefile.windows in the components\toolchain folder to specify the path to the GNU Arm toolchain on your system.

The Makefile is located in the armgcc folder

nRF51_SDK_7.2.0_gcc\examples\dfu\bootloader\pca10028\dual_bank_ble_s110\armgcc

Let me know if you run into any problems with the modified SDK.

i think you should use debugger to catch the moment of bootloader crash.

@wojtek , if you have seen the nordick sdks 7.1.0 it don't have a makefile included. there is no armgcc folder. I created a makefile . i had many error b/c building some of the file had error. finally i managed to build and the hex file. but with this boot loader.hex file i got , i tried bootloader7.1.0 + soft device 7.1.0.hex + application.hex , but after flashing it don't even advertise now. it is really difficult to make the boot loader 7.1.0 make work . what do you think ?

@brookyoh1: Could you post the full marking on your chip?

RE: DFU issue with CustomBoard (Wireshark log included)

Wojtek — Tue, 29 Mar 2016 15:58:37 GMT

Ok, so to sum up: you are using oldest version of the chip which is not compatible with S110 v7.1.0. You are using S110 v7.1.0 which is not compatible with SDK 10...

I am not saying this is the reason why this is not working, but i think your project is mess. I think you should move to newer chip (at least rev. 2 if you cannot get current rev. 3) and use SDK that is compatible with SoftDevice...

If you are using 256kb version, I think there is nothing to change in bootloader source.

Even the cheap chineese nrf51 modules are using rev. 3. (i just ordered few with 32kb ram, which i think is great!)

@Wojtek am using 256kb , revision 1

RE: DFU issue with CustomBoard (Wireshark log included)

Wojtek — Tue, 29 Mar 2016 15:37:13 GMT

are you using 128kb or 256kb rom chip version? which revision of the chip?

Hello Wojtek,

before i modify the linker file , it was not advertising . since my custom board is 16k , i modified the ram value in the linker file , after that it advertises. then i faced the issue that i stated above.

i took the example from nordic sdk 10 , i have attached it above. nRF51822. here is my linker file link text

do i have to modify any file in boot loader ? And what do mean by debug the boot loader ?

Wojtek — Tue, 29 Mar 2016 15:21:22 GMT

why don't you just debug your bootloader app to see what is going on? It seems that your app is crashing in bootloader. are you using 128kb or 256kb rom chip version? did you modify bootloader to fit in your memory? Too many questions... wireshark log doesn't help much here. are you using revision 3 chip? From which SDK version did you took bootloader example?

Could you share the code of your custom bootloader?
