Find out I used wrong command to generate bootloader settings.

Here is flashing/merging/generate bl settings script : https://github.com/breakersun/nRF52832-buttonless-dfu-development-tutorial

anyone new to DFU on nRF52832/nRF52810 can use these shortcuts.(on SDK15.3.0).

Hi Amanda,

I tested pca10040e projects on both secure_bootloader and ble_app_buttonless_dfu.

At last I got an error when flashing merged hex file into nRF52810:

nrfjprog --program merged.hex --sectorerase
Parsing hex file.
ERROR: The file specified is not a valid hex file, has data outside valid areas
ERROR: or does not have data in valid areas.

I tested on pca10040 at nRF52832, it works fine.

Would you share some suggestions on this?

Thank you Amanda.

The emulated projects seems a very good start for beginners on nRF52810.

Yes, you can start from that. Please also take a look at nRF5 SDK v15.3.0: Developing for nRF52810.

Hi Amanda, Thank you for answering me.

I noticed there are some emulated projects for developing nRF52810 on nRF52832 demo board. and they works just fine on nRF52810 board, such as \nRF5_SDK_15.3.0_59ac345\examples\ble_peripheral\ble_app_hrs\pca10040e\

So my question is, does DFU emulated project(\nRF5_SDK_15.3.0_59ac345\examples\dfu\secure_bootloader\pca10040e_ble\) support nRF52810?

If the answer is no, can you give me some guide so I can start DFU quickly on nRF52810?

Hi,

No, you cannot use other pre-compiled images for nRF52810.

DFU bootloader examples require one of the following SoftDevices: S132, S140. However, nRF52810 does not support them. Please see this SDKs and SoftDevices table.

Best regards,

Amanda
