@Amy: Yes you can use RTT, but the size of the bootloader will be increased and you still need to follow question F to increase the allocated size and move the location of the bootloader down a little bit because of that expand.

Hi Hung, Thanks for your reply. I think my bootloader run correctly because I still can use it to do DFU and start the application( the hrs example code).

Since I need to use the DFU function in some reasons, I have to get familiar with it as soon as I can. That's why I am trying to print some debug messages at first.

And for the question F in FAQ part, I think I have already done it before, but I will give a check.

What if I use RTT for debugging? Is it more convenient and suitable? What is the best choice for me to print messages out?

Thank you=)

Hi Amy, I guess the bootloader crashed at some point. You may need to follow this instruction on how to debug, you may need to re-configure the bootloader so that you can run it in debug mode bu looking at question F in this FAQ.

The bootloader is a fairly complex project and i would not suggest to get started with it.
