BLE_App_Buttonless_DFU Example not Operating after slight code changes.

[BendaEng]

Hi, 

I am trying to modify the code in the BLE_App_Buttonless_DFU_pca10040_s132 example is SES. Without any modification the code compiles fine and can be recognized by nRF Connect. However, when I make small code changes the program still compiles and flashes but the nRF52832 device cannot be seen or connected to in nRF Connect. Using J-Link RTT Viewer V6.40 I see the following output. Does anyone know what this may mean?

<info> app: Inside main
<debug> app: In nrf_bootloader_init
<debug> nrf_dfu_settings: Calling nrf_dfu_settings_init()...
<debug> nrf_dfu_flash: Initializing nrf_fstorage_nvmc backend.
<debug> nrf_dfu_settings: Settings OK
<debug> app: Enter nrf_bootloader_fw_activate
<info> app: No firmware to activate.
<debug> app: Enter nrf_dfu_app_is_valid

Thanks for the help!

Please  create a new case for your question. Please describe with more information about how you test and what you observed. 

It looks like the bootloader working fine. You may need to check if the app can run after the update.
