DFU example not working

[jonas.woerner]

Hi,

Recently we upgraded from NRF52832 to NRF52840, and as the Development seems to come to an end, one of the last features we need is OTA capability.

currently I am trying to Implement DFU on my application, but I am struggeling.

I downloaded the latest SDK and tried to compile \examples\dfu\secure_bootloader\pca10056_ble project.

after compiling I flashed softdevice (make Flash_Softdevice) and then flashed the bootlader (make Flash) but my board wont advertise.

next step was to try one of the precompiled examples, I successfuly flashed sd_s140_bootloader_buttonless_with_setting_page_dfu_secure_ble_debug_without_bonds.hex, and it worked! I could see the DFUtarg advertising, then I tried to flash the softdevice and bootloader_secure_ble_debug_without_bonds_s140.hex seperately, and again, it did not advertise.

what am I doing wrong?

thanks in advance,

Jonas

Update: when I use mergehex to merge softdevice and bootloader and application, it works, but if I program it after another it doesnt...?!

Update2: when I compile and merge the debug bootloader, it works, but not with the non-debug version. also the non debug version is significantly smaller when compiled.
