[Alex_Golubev]

Hi.

 

I' m using nRF52832, SDK v15.0.0, S132.

 

I'm want tutorial how make bootloader DFU in IAR.

 

How I make bootloader DFU for nrf52832 in IAR?

You can use nRF Connect for Desktop or nrfutil on a PC to perform DFU. We also have the nRF Connect for Mobile app for Android and iOS, which allows you to perform DFU from a mobile device.

Me's need step by step guide, getting started with Nordic's Secure DFU bootloader. 

[bjorn-spockeli]

Alex, when you report that functions return errors, then you need to provide the error codes so that we can find out what caused the error. Also do you mean a compilation error or a run-time error?

After calling the ble_dfu_buttonless_bootloader_start_finalize() function the device should jump to the bootloader and the device should start advertising as DfuTarg. You can then connect to the device using nRF Connect for Desktop or Mobile(ios/Android) and then start a DFU by pressing the DFU icon, the blue lock and then select the image you want to upload

[Alex_Golubev]

ble_dfu_buttonless_bootloader_start_finalize -> nrf_pwr_mgmt_shutdown(NRF_PWR_MGMT_SHUTDOWN_GOTO_DFU) -> nrf_pwr_mgmt_shutdown(nrf_pwr_mgmt_shutdown_t shutdown_type) -> shutdown_process(void).

static void shutdown_process(void) 

execution enters in the block

if ((m_pwr_mgmt_evt == NRF_PWR_MGMT_EVT_PREPARE_RESET)
|| (m_pwr_mgmt_evt == NRF_PWR_MGMT_EVT_PREPARE_DFU))
{
NVIC_SystemReset();
}

And occurs System Reset.

[bjorn-spockeli]

YEs, that is the intended behaviour. The chip should perform a SystemReset so that it enter the bootloader, which is always started before the application when it is present on the chip.

Bootloader installed to flash memory. Why do not start bootloader?

[Alex_Golubev]

I get error.

Function sd_ble_gap_sec_params_reply(m_conn_handle, BLE_GAP_SEC_STATUS_PAIRING_NOT_SUPP, NULL, NULL) return error 8. 

Help me. 

[bjorn-spockeli]

sd_ble_gap_sec_params_reply will return NRF_ERROR_INVALID_STATE when the security parameters has not been requested. Possible causes are listed here
