IOS-nRF-Connect

[Kendal Lacey]

Testing DFU with IOS version of nRF connect.  I am able to save my image to the IPad with Itunes.  I can select the file and then start the DFU process.

Process completes and then I get a message "Please connect to this device to learn its DFU status". 

I am trying to get the logging file so I can confirm success.

Where is the option to see / save the log file?

Hi,

The device will use the original Bluetooth address incremented by '1' if you start DFU in bootloader mode. Then when the application is updated, it will begin advertising with the original non-incremented address again. Because of the address change, the Ipad will not be able to reconnect automatically. Are you able to find the device again if you go back to the scan window and start scanning? If more verbose logging is needed, I would recommend you to use the *_debug bootloader projects that prints the log messages over RTT.

Hello Vidar:

I am able to reconnect to the nRF target by putting the 52832 into bootloader mode.  This works no problem.

What I am trying to do is to get the nRF Connect log file from the IPad.  With the Android version of the nRF Connect I can view / and save the log file that is generated.  How do I do this with the IOS version?

Please and thanks,

Ken.

Hello Ken,

I don't think nRF connect has support for logging yet, unfortunately. I could not find an option for it at least. I will have to check with the developers tomorrow if there are plans to support it.

Assume you get a message saying the DFU was successful? It shouldn't be necessary to enter DFU mode to re-connect if you were uploading a BLE peripheral application. Do you have other ways of checking if your application is running after DFU? LED indications, attach a programmer, and debug the app after DFU, etc.?

Hello Vidar:

We are past that stage of development.

The team has updated the bootloader, we have modified some of the behaviour at startup.  When we use the PC version of nRF Connect, log files show that the product was updated.

I will make 2 special loads for the testing and using the startup sequence I will be able to determine if the bootloader was updated successfully.

Regards,

Ken.

Hello Ken,

Ok, I understand. But this is what I see after a successful application DFU on my iPhone (nrf connect v.2.0.3):

 Ok, I assumed you were testing application updates.

Hello Vidar:

WIth application updates, yes this is what I see.

I am upgrading the bootloader so I am sending a SD+BL package through DFU. 

On my Android phone this fails.

I am trying to get my test Iphone powered up and working.

More information to follow.

Ken.
