 it seems the current nrfutils release assumes that the bootloader settings will be stored at address 0x7F000 on an nRF52.
However, unless I&amp;#39;m mistaken, that is only true for QFAA versions of the chip, since QFAB versions have only 256KB of</description><dc:language>en-US</dc:language><generator>Telligent Community 13</generator><lastBuildDate>Wed, 08 Mar 2017 10:42:27 GMT</lastBuildDate><atom:link rel="self" type="application/rss+xml" href="https://devzone.nordicsemi.com/f/nordic-q-a/20215/nrfutil-settings-generate-for-nrf52-qfab" /><item><title>RE: nrfutil settings generate for nRF52 QFAB</title><link>https://devzone.nordicsemi.com/thread/78769?ContentTypeID=1</link><pubDate>Wed, 08 Mar 2017 10:42:27 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">137ad170-7792-4731-bb38-c0d22fbe4515:27294ed4-f004-4534-a154-119203c32978</guid><dc:creator>Matteo</dc:creator><description>&lt;p&gt;Thank you Bjørn, that makes sense.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item><item><title>RE: nrfutil settings generate for nRF52 QFAB</title><link>https://devzone.nordicsemi.com/thread/78768?ContentTypeID=1</link><pubDate>Wed, 08 Mar 2017 10:16:22 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">137ad170-7792-4731-bb38-c0d22fbe4515:d483687e-3d8e-42a1-9a90-32e30535906e</guid><dc:creator>bjorn-spockeli</dc:creator><description>&lt;p&gt;Hi Matteo,&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;you are correct in that nrfutil generates a settings page starting at the address 0x7F000 if the NRF52 is given as the --family option. As you have pointed out this settings hex file cannot be used on a nRF52 QFAB variant due to its 256kB flash.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;So yes, you will have to modify the source of nrfutil to set 0x3F000 as the start address of the settings page. You have to modify &lt;code&gt;bl_dfu_sett.py&lt;/code&gt;, found in &lt;code&gt;nordicsemi\dfu&lt;/code&gt;, specifically change&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;pre&gt;&lt;code&gt;bl_sett_52_addr= 0x0007F000 
&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/pre&gt;
&lt;p&gt;to&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;pre&gt;&lt;code&gt;bl_sett_52_addr= 0x0003F000
&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/pre&gt;
&lt;p&gt;under &lt;code&gt;class BLDFUSettings(object):&lt;/code&gt; at line 72.  I will report this internally so that an option for the 256kB flash variant is added.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Best regards&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Bjørn&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item></channel></rss>
