Loading mesh bootloader with SES (Mesh V4.0.0), example/serial

[Sean Taylor]

In the example / serial in SES I see the softdevice is loaded as an "additional load file"

$(SDK_ROOT:../../../nRF5_SDK_16.0.0_98a08e2)/components/softdevice/s140/hex/s140_nrf52_7.0.1_softdevice.hex

I tried adding the pre-compiled mesh bootloader as a second additional load file:

../../bin/bootloader/gccarmemb/mesh_bootloader_serial_gccarmemb_nrf52840_xxAA.hex

but when I try to run in the debugger the CPU hangs at address 0xFAC18 on instruction bkpt #0 (BE00).

I am very confused by the documentation.  There is no SES project for the bootloader (unlike the regular SDK v16).

so how do I program a bootloader along with my application and a softdevice ?

Hi.

Please take a look at this previous ticket:
https://devzone.nordicsemi.com/f/nordic-q-a/51534/stepping-through-nrf-mesh-bootloader-code-in-segger-embedded-studio

In the ticket there is attached a SES project for nRF52840 bootloader SDK v16.0. It has not been thoroughly tested but it should work. 

Best regards,
Joakim

Thank you - sorry for the slow reply - I was temporarily pulled onto other work but I will get back to this shortly.
