Hi @ll,
I tried to get the dfu example up and running but there are a lot of problems I encountered:
- Using the device_page_generator.py the string for the public key was read as unicode so I had to add this part:
if(isinstance(data, unicode)):
data = data.encode('utf-8')
after line 65. So I got this running and could generate device pages. Even though I can not imagine that I am the only one having this problem O_o
- After I flashed everything I tired using the nrfutil (mesh_dfu-branch) to perform the dfu
--> But I had no serial connection as it stucks at 0% forever
--> So I tried the bootloader_verify.py which is not getting a serial connection at all (everything up to now on a ubuntu 17.10 machine using sudo or not)
--> Tried it on a windows laptop and it works ... at least the bootloader_verify.py
--> nrfutil responds: Failed to upgrade target. Error is: Device returned an unknown status code (142) on a DFU state beacon packet.
I'm using the following files/settings:
- nRF52 PC10040 v1.1.0 DevKits
- Softdevice s132 6.0.0
- mesh_bootloader_serial_gccarmemb_nrf52832_xxAA.hex as the bootloader
- examples/dfu for the application
- device_page_generator.py -c bootloader_config.json -sd "s132_6.0.0"
with bootloader_config.json being:
{
"bootloader_config": {
"bootloader_id": 1,
"bootloader_version": 1,
"company_id": 89,
"application_id": 1,
"application_version": 1,
"public_key":"xxxMyKeyxxx"
}
}
- nrfutil dfu genpkg --application [...]new.hex --company-id 0x00000059 --application-id 1 --application-version 2 --sd-req 0x00A8 --key-file [...]/mesh_test.pem --mesh dfu_test.zip
- Using latest SEGGER JLink 6.32c
Is there a way to get this stuff up and running using linux instead of windows? See also my other ticket for serial communication of the interative_pyaci:

Is there something I did not pay into account?
Thank you in advance for your help 
Bye
Andrej
