RE: custom DFU package

WDT was the issue. I had it configured as "NRF_WDT_BEHAVIOUR_RUN_SLEEP".

I changed it to "NRF_WDT_BEHAVIOUR_PAUSE_SLEEP_HALT" now everything works.

Thanks

It advertises in DFU mode while trying to do DFU. But keeps failing even after connecting to DFU-Targ

Please check if the device advertises in normal app mode or DFU mode after you have received the error. You can usually tell what mode it is based on the device name it advertises. If it's in DFU mode, you can try to re-connect and complete the DFU.

It is enabled.

ble_enable_params.gatts_enable_params.service_changed = IS_SRVC_CHANGED_CHARACT_PRESENT;

IS_SRVC_CHANGED_CHARACT_PRESENT is defined as 1

I tried to comment "dfu_app_peer_data_set()" but do not see any difference. Still not successfull

Thanks for confirming. Have you enabled the service changed characteristic in your application like in the ble_app_hrs_with_dfu example (this line: ble_enable_params.gatts_enable_params.service_changed = IS_SRVC_CHANGED_CHARACT_PRESENT;)?

You may also consider commenting out the call to "dfu_app_peer_data_set" in bootloader_start(). This will make the bootloader advertise openly (no whitelisting or directed advertising)

It reaches bootloader_start() function.

It reaches the end of this function but I realized err_code = sd_ble_gatts_sys_attr_get(...); does not return NRF_SUCCESS. I do not know if it is a problem.

[quote user="chladm"]DFU always fails with this error: [DFU] Disconnected by the remote device[/quote]

This indicates that the device is not entering bootloader DFU mode as it's supposed to. I suggest you try to debug the application while sending the DFU start command and see if the program reaches bootloader_start() in dfu_app_handler.c

Thank you. Right version of nrfutil helped me to create right package.

I am now able to perform DFU over BLE several times when I create packege from example project. But i do have issue with my project. I can perform DFU over BLE with my project but only once. Once my application is running I can not update it with anything.

It is modified ble_app_hrs S110 with DFU example I added Nordic UART service and app_timers for communication with sensors. I did no change to device manager, nor parts of code with compiler switch DFU.

DFU always fails with this error: [DFU] Disconnected by the remote device

Log from nrf Connect is attached. Where do you think the issue could be?

Thank you

RE: custom DFU package

Vidar Berg — Fri, 12 Jun 2020 11:48:18 GMT

Hello,

You must use nrfutil version 0.5.x to generate DFU packages for our legacy DFU solution (ie everything pre-SDK version 12). And instructions on how to generate a legacy DFU packet can be found in the SDK documentation here: Creating an image file

Note that the legacy bootloader did not support FW signing, so the private key will not be needed.

Old nrfutil executable:

devzone.nordicsemi.com/.../nrfutil.exe
