The Buttonless DFU Template Application is not working on a custom board

[Vu]

Hi,

I am currently working on a custom product that uses module BMD-300 from u-blox, which has nrf52382 chip in it. My application works fine and now I want to integrate the Secure DFU function into it. I programmed the board with the DFU test image sd_s132_bootloader_buttonless_with_setting_page_dfu_secure_ble_debug_without_bonds.hex but I could not see it advertising when I scan for devices on nrf Connect. Does anyone know what problem could cause it to not advertising? I am using sdk v15.0.0.

Thank you in advance.

Here is the log when I run the _debug project. I still can't see the Dfu Targ device when scanning on nRF Connect

Now when I rerun it I got an error

00> <error> app: Fatal error at line 61 in F:\2790_002\sdk\components\libraries\util\app_error_weak.c

Tracing in the code, line 61 is in the function __WEAK void app_error_fault_handler(uint32_t id, uint32_t pc, uint32_t info), which is called in sd_softdevice_enable(&clock_lf_cfg, app_error_fault_handler) or __WEAK void assert_nrf_callback(uint16_t line_num, const uint8_t * file_name). The clock is set as follow:

nrf_clock_lf_cfg_t const clock_lf_cfg =
{
.source = NRF_CLOCK_LF_SRC_RC ,
.rc_ctiv = 0,
.rc_temp_ctiv = 0,
.accuracy = NRF_CLOCK_LF_ACCURACY_500_PPM
};

Try setting:

NRF_SDH_CLOCK_LF_RC_CTIV = 16 and

NRF_SDH_CLOCK_LF_RC_TEMP_CTIV = 2 in sdk_config.h of your bootloader project.

You should set these equal to what you set them to in your application's sdk_config.h file.

Thank you, my bootloader works now. But my application still freeze after connect on nRF Connect on PC (I haven't even tried to connect to DFU yet). On iOS, I can connect to nRF Connect without freezing, but cannot get into DFU mode. What do you think could cause the problem?
