I have trouble doing buttonless dfu example

[james cho]

Hello all

i have problem with doing this example

https://github.com/gamnes/nRF52832-buttonless-dfu-development-tutorial

Here is my stepts to do this

1.Download Sdk in "C:\ "(nRF5_SDK_15.0.0_a53641a)

2.Flash software device in C:\nRF5_SDK_15.0.0_a53641a\components\softdevice\s132\hex

3.I put command at cmd

nrfjprog --program C:\nRF5_SDK_15.0.0_a53641a\examples\dfu\secure_dfu_test_images\ble\nrf52832\sd_s132_bootloader_buttonless_with_setting_page_dfu_secure_ble_debug_without_bonds.hex --chiperase

but I can't see any Buttonless in nrfconnect through my android phone

I don't know why it is not shown

is there any point i missed?

Hi.

Have you gone through the description here?

Best regards,

[james cho]

Hi  thank you for reply i have one more question

after i follow this

something strange was happend

sometimes actually seldom i got Buttonless but most of all i couldn't found Buttoless

this are steps i followed

first i put this in cmd

nrfjprog --program C:\Users\mmsw\Desktop\cho\nRF5_15.2_ok_1s-p\examples\dfu\secure_dfu_test_images\ble\nrf52832\sd_s132_bootloader_buttonless_with_setting_page_dfu_secure_ble_debug_without_bonds.hex --chiperase

and second i put this because i have board without buttons

nrfjprog --reset

I don't know why i seldom find Buttonless in nrfconnect scanner list

[AndreasF]

Hi.

Is your board advertising? Does LED1 blink? Do you have a custom board?

Best regards,

Andreas

[james cho]

i have a custom board without any buttons and i have two leds(pin numbers are 14 and 15) in my board

so i cannot observe led blink because this hex file is precompiled

but in my android phone i seldom found Nordic_Buttonless like this(bottom of list)

as you look this screenshot, signal is dead and after i click refresh Nordic_Buttonless disappear

i don't know how to solve it

thank you Andreas

[AndreasF]

Hi.

I suggest that you use a project then and edit the LED which shows when your device is advertising.

Open the file nRF5_SDK_15.0.0_a53641a\components\boards\pca10040.h, and edit the following on line 52 and 53:

#define LED_START      17
#define LED_1          17

EDIT TO THIS:
#define LED_START      14
#define LED_1          14

And edit this on line 74:

#define BUTTON_2       14

EDIT TO THIS:
#define BUTTON_2       17

Compile and download this .hex file to your device.

Does your LED blink now when it advertises?

(Some more information on custom boards)

Best regards,

Andreas

thank you Andeas because of my poor english  i can't understand what you said

do you mean i should compile  C:\nRF5_SDK_15.0.0_a53641a\examples\dfu\secure_dfu_test_images\ble\nrf52832\sd_s132_bootloader_buttonless_with_setting_page_dfu_secure_ble_debug_without_bonds

? or other project using advertising

if you said first i don't know how to recompile hex file  :(

[AndreasF]

Hi.

Sorry, the fault is mine, I should be clearer with my explanation.

1. Open the file pca10040.h in folder nRF5_SDK_15.0.0_a53641a\components\boards

2. Edit line 52 and 53 like this:

#define LED_START      17
#define LED_1          17

EDIT TO THIS:
#define LED_START      14
#define LED_1          14

And edit this on line 74:

#define BUTTON_2       14

EDIT TO THIS:
#define BUTTON_2       17

3. Save and close the pca10040.h file

4. Open the secure_bootloader project in the folder nRF5_SDK_15.0.0_a53641a\examples\dfu\secure_bootloader\pca10040_ble in the IDE you wish to use.

5. Compile the secure_bootloader project and flash this to your device. You also need to flash the SoftDevice (found in the folder nRF5_SDK_15.0.0_a53641a\components\softdevice\s132\hex)

Best regards,

thank you andrea

my result is first 5seconds it blinks but after 5seconds it turns on not blink

[james cho]

and i add LED2 pin num15 result is two leds blink first 5seconds , after that two leds turns on is it meaning BSP_INDICATE_FATAL_ERROR ?

[AndreasF]

Hi.

You have BSP_INDICATE_FATAL_ERROR state if LED1 and LED2 are on at the same time.

Can you try to build the debug version of the secure_bootloader?

You find it in the folder nRF5_SDK_15.2.0\examples\dfu\secure_bootloader\pca10040_ble_debug.

Do you use Segger Embedded Studio?

Best regards,

Andreas
