Yes, if you don't have crystal, you use RC for the bootloader. I'm not sure why you have to ask, you already mentioned about that above ??

If you see issue, you debug it. That's why I ask how familiar you are with the SDK. The bootloader is not a black box, you can debug and find the reason why it doesn't advertise. It's no different from a normal application.

You have 149 errors could be because the size of the bootloader is bigger than the size allocated for it, you need to increase the size of the bootloader in the project setting. You need to move the bootloader down a little bit to make enough room for it.

Which chip is on your custom board ? we have 2 variant, one with 256kB and one with 512kB flash.
