Connectivity firmware with sd_api_v6 for PCA10040 does not work

[Chencheng]

Using https://github.com/NordicSemiconductor/pc-ble-driver (abce7974fe983c23930d362b1769e51c8fa13cbf).

Just followed the instruction and compiled hex/sd_api_v6/connectivity_<ver>_1m_with_s132_6.1.0.hex

Cannot run any example. Error log:

$ ./heart_rate_monitor_v6 /dev/ttyACM0 
Serial port used: /dev/ttyACM0
Baud rate used: 1000000
Info: Successfully opened /dev/ttyACM0. Baud rate: 1000000. Flow control: none. Parity: none.
Status: 6, message: Target Reset performed

Status: 4, message: Error sending packet to target. Code: 0x802a

Hi,

Are you using this connectivity firmware? connectivity_4.0.0_1m_with_s132_6.1.0.hex?

Can you find out where you get this error code? which function is returning this?

[Mttrinh]

Hi,

1) Have you disabled the modem manager: https://github.com/NordicSemiconductor/pc-ble-driver/blob/master/README.md#validating-on-ubuntu-linux

2) Do you use a Ubuntu distribution?

Could you run the system tests on your machine?

They can be compiled by providing -DTEST_ALL=1 to the cmake invocation provided here: https://github.com/NordicSemiconductor/pc-ble-driver/blob/master/README.md#compiling-pc-ble-driver-on-ubuntu-linux-or-macos

After compilation there will be a test application (build/test/test_main_v6) that may assist us in figuring out what the issue is. 
The application has a help feature (–help) that describes parameters to provide. If the issue persists, increase the log level (--log-level trace) and provide us with the logs.

[Chencheng]

Thanks for your reply.

I am running Ubuntu 18.04.

I have followed your suggestions and here is the test log based on the latest commit

Hi, you need to specify the kits to use (The tests require two). Specify the COM ports with - - port-a and - - port-b

[Chencheng]

Hi,

I ran with:

./test_main_v6 --log-level trace --port-a /dev/ttyACM0 --port-b /dev/ttyACM1

Here is the log:

test_5.0.1_pca10040_032009.log

[kere]

This could indicate that the packet did not go through to the connectivity. Can you check if Mass Storage Device is disabled on the J-Link-OB? Perhaps more recent versions of the Linux kernel truncate packages that are too long. Here are instructions on how to do it: wiki.segger.com/index.php

Thanks Ken!
