Trying to compile DFU bootloader code in segger embedded studio.

[Meera Shah]

When I tried to compile bootloader example code of sdk  bootloader_secure, I am facing some of the errors when I tried to compile using Segger Embedded Studio, which could not be solved. I think this is generating because of compiler difference. I am using s130.

`.bootloaderSettings' will not fit in region `UNPLACED_SECTIONS' region .

   In function `nrf_dfu_transports_init':
     undefined reference to `__stop_dfu_trans'
     undefined reference to `__start_dfu_trans'
   In function `nrf_dfu_bl_continue':
    undefined reference to `__isr_vector'
Build failed

You,re probably missing the bootloaderSettings section in the flash_placement.xml file, take a look at the flash_placement.xml file from this answer.

I have uploaded this image of upgraded SDK code. But in my 12.3.0 there is no option in linker of Section placement file.

So there would be no effects of flash_placement.xml. whether I will do changes or not.

In keil it is

#elif defined (__CC_ARM)
    #define BOOTLOADER_START_ADDR        (uint32_t)&Image$$ER_IROM1$$Base

[awneil]

So you know what Image$$ER_IROM1$$Base is?

[Meera Shah]

No

Look it up:

A key part of any porting exercise is a solid understanding of what you're porting - and what you're porting it to!

But I don't know what should I add in options ->build->memory segments and options->linker->Section placement macros to run this dfu bootloader_secure code in segger embedded studio
