Updating firmware with dfu bootloader

[Geoffroy]

Hi,

i would like to program my module nRF52840 via uart.

I generated private then public key using nrfutil.exe tool

i could programm softdevice and bootloader and flash them on my nRF52840.

I use : https://infocenter.nordicsemi.com/index.jsp?topic=%2Fcom.nordic.infocenter.sdk5.v11.0.0%2Fbledfu_example_serial.html

now i want to update firmware, first i'm testing an existing package : softdevice_s140.zip (nRF5_SDK_15.0.0_a53641a\examples\dfu\secure_dfu_test_images\uart\nrf52840)

so i try to execute this cmd : 

D:\Work\nRF5_SDK_15.0.0 ble_telechargement_uart\examples\dfu\secure_dfu_test_images>nrfutil.exe dfu serial --package softdevice_s140.zip --port 4 -fc 1 : here is the result : 

D:\Work\nRF5_SDK_15.0.0 ble_telechargement_uart\examples\dfu\secure_dfu_test_images>nrfutil.exe dfu serial --package softdevice_s140.zip --port 4 -fc 1

in this try, i don't see problem with COM port... but i don't understand this new problem ...

Hi,

The right documentation page for SDK 15.0.0 will be this one: https://infocenter.nordicsemi.com/index.jsp?topic=%2Fcom.nordic.infocenter.sdk5.v15.0.0%2Fsdk_app_serial_dfu_bootloader.html&cp=5_5_1_4_3_4

If you are testing using one of the provided packages you need to use the default public key included in the bootloader project, do not use your own generated public key. Because these test packages have been generated using a private key that corresponds to the default public key included the project.

Also make sure the device has enter DFU mode (indicated by LED 3 being lit) before starting the DFU process.

Best regards,

Marjeris
