After Successful DFU , the board is not advertising

[Rohit]

Hello all,

I am working on the DFU on the NRF52810 custom board

I am trying with secure bootloader example PCA10040e 

 with sdk 15.3 s112_nrf52_6.1.1 softdevice

Then flashed secure_bootloader_ble_s112_pca10040e.hex  using segger IDE with name "Dfutrg"

 Using the command for generating zip file as follows with name  "Dfutrg1"

nrfutil pkg generate --hw-version 52 --application-version 1 --application secure_bootloader_ble_s112_pca10040e.hex --sd-req 0xB8 --key-file private.key app_dfu_package.zip

After this i am using mobile app to DFU on the board.

After successful DFU, the board is not advertising as per edited name..
What modification is required to solve this issue.

Please check attached zip file

.app_dfu_package.zip

Please reply if anyone now this issue.

Thanks and Regards,

Rohit

Hi Rohit, 

if you want to update the bootloader then you need to create a bootloader firmware image, not a application image, i.e. use --bootloader instead of --application.

nrfutil pkg generate --help
Usage: nrfutil pkg generate [OPTIONS] ZIPFILE

  Generate a zip package for distribution to apps that support Nordic DFU
  OTA. The application, bootloader, and SoftDevice files are converted to
  .bin if supplied as .hex files. For more information on the generated
  package, see: http://developer.nordicsemi.com/nRF5_SDK/doc/

  The following combinations are supported by this command:

  * BL only: Supported.

  * SD only: Supported (SD of same Major Version).

  * APP only: Supported (external or internal).

  * BL + SD: Supported.

  * BL + APP: Not supported (use two packages instead).

  * BL + SD + APP: Supported.

  * SD + APP: Supported (SD of same Major Version).

Options:
  --debug-mode                    Debug mode switch, enables version check
                                  skipping.

                                  "2.7.31".
  --bootloader TEXT               The bootloader firmware file.

                                  the target device. Each item on the list
                                  must be a two- or four-digit hex number
                                  prefixed with "0x" (e.g. "0x12", "0x1234").

  --help                          Show this message and exit.

Hence you should alter the nrfutil command to the following

nrfutil pkg generate --hw-version 52 --bootloader-version 1 --bootloader secure_bootloader_ble_s112_pca10040e.hex --sd-req 0xB8 --key-file private.key bl_dfu_package.zip

Can you try this and see if the custom board advertises with the new name after the DFU?

Best regards

Thanks for your response.

I have followed your command given but same issue is there.

It is not advertising.

What modification is required please reply.

Can you debug the bootloader after the DFU and see if you enter main of the new bootloader?

[Rohit]

Thanks for your support.

the issue is in the clock configuration for the NRF52810.

That i have sorted and now the board is working properly.

Thanks and Regards,

Rohit
