Avoid entering over the air bootloader but start with preprogrammed app

[FredNovalia]

Hi,

We are trying to use the over-the-air bootloader in our application. Our problem is the bootloader seems to require one first over-the-air download before it allows to start the application. Our application is actually preprogrammed using a DATAMAN serial wire debug programmer and we would like the app to run before the bootloader is entered.

What is the best way to start with a factory programmed application instead of waiting for the (over-the-air) bootloader to download it once.

Many thanks, Fred

You need to set the boot loader settings so that the application is marked as valid when you pre-program your application like so:

uint8_t  m_boot_settings[CODE_PAGE_SIZE] __attribute__((at(BOOTLOADER_SETTINGS_ADDRESS))) __attribute__((used)) = {BANK_VALID_APP};
