iOS nRF Toolbox crashes when opening files

[Rocky Liang]

Hi,

The nRF Toolbox app on iOS crashes when opening user added files in the DFU. These files are added to the app via iTunes. The version of the nRF Toolbox is 1.7 which was updated on the 3rd of April, and the iOS version is 8.2. The devices I used to test this app were an iPad Air and an iPhone 6.

On the other hand, the nRF Toolbox app on Android works perfectly fine. It has no problem updating the firmware via DFU.

I look forward to a solution. Thank you so much.

Cheers, Rocky

Hi

The IOS toolbox was updated on April 17th to version 1.8. The update included some bugfixes. If it still does not work with nRF Toolbox 1.8, report what IOS version you have.

Update 29.4.2015 I have tested this with IOS 8.1.1 and nRF Toolbox 1.8 and uploaded the standard hrs_s110_8_0_sdk_8_0.zip to unmodified SDK 8.0.0 bootloader and that works fine at least.

Example json from zip file included in the Toolbox:

{
"manifest": {
    "application": {
        "bin_file": "application.bin",
        "dat_file": "application.dat",
        "init_packet_data": {
            "application_version": 4294967295,
            "device_revision": 65535,
            "device_type": 65535,
            "firmware_crc16": 32907,
            "softdevice_req": [
                90,
                100
            ]
        }
    }
}

}

Example from the SDK:

{
"manifest": {
    "application": {
        "bin_file": "dfu_test_app_hrm.bin",
        "dat_file": "dfu_test_app_hrm.dat",
        "init_packet_data": {
            "application_version": 4294967295,
            "compression_type": null,
            "device_revision": 65535,
            "device_type": 65535,
            "firmware_crc16": 19263,
            "firmware_hash": null,
            "packet_version": null,
            "softdevice_req": [
                65534
            ]
        }
    },
    "bootloader": null,
    "softdevice": null,
    "softdevice_bootloader": null
}

}

What format should be considered correct?
