Partition in Keil nRF9160

[dddddddddddddddd]

Hello!

On the Nordic website there stands that Keil is supported. So I am currently using it throw the Package but i got a problem with the correct partitioning in Keil.

Everething works fine accept the BSD-library it always goes into Hard-Fault when I am initializing with bsd_init, so i step throw the asselmbler code and it seems

to me that it has something to do with a memory-function which is used in the library. Has anyone a clue how to make the right partitioning in Keil? i tried it throw the 

Target-Dialog but this does nor really work. 

Best Regards

Hi Rene,

Keil is not supported on the nRF9160 DK. If you want to use NCS, you should use Segger Embedded Studio instead. We support Keil on the nRF5 SDK.

Hi Björn!

The problem is my boss wants me to use Keil and later when everything works to use Free RTOS.

So i do not need to use use NCS, my problem is to make the partitions you made with ldskript to have in Keil. 

Best Regards,

René

Hi Björn!

For clarification I am currently working in Keil and I am not using any RTOS because I want to build the AT_Client example without any RTOS at first and later with FreeRTOS. Currently the only part which does not work is the BSD-Library (bsd_init goes into Hard-Fault and yes I have read the documentation it is not because of illegitimate use).

When i debugged the bsd_init Function i saw that it goes into Hard-Fault by using an memory-function so my guess is that it is because of a not made partitioning and so I am asking you if you have any glue how to make this part right in Keil.

I would be very pleased if you cloud help me and of course later if the AT_Client example with Free RTOS works i will upload it because I think more users would appreciate that. 

Best Regards

Hi René,

Sorry for the delayed response. You will need to configure the secure boot example, then setup the application (non-secure) and port the bsd_os.c file to your own environment.

Hi Björn!

Thank you for the answere that´s pretty much how far i came.

The Problem which i am now having is that the bsd_init will hang up and when I stop the CPU (see pic 1) and when I am then stepping throw the Assembler there is a loop (pic 1 to pic 2 to pic 1...).

Kind Regards,

René

Sorry for the delayed response. Are you using engineering silicon on your 91 SiP? Can you let me know what the markings are on the SiP? It could be related to this errata. Another engineer mentioned the following: "In addition, how does their port file look? That they hang in that function can indicate that they have either not configured the secure region properly, or that their implementation of the bsd_os.c file is not properly done."
