Problem about thread OTA

taoyinzhou

I need to implement using OTA to upgrade the thread.I followed Thread Tutorial: Practical guide for device upgrade OTA provided to complete the upgrade process,but it didn't success.

I have 3 nRF52840 Development Kits.
1 DK will run a Client + Bootloader.
1 DK will run a Server.
1 DK will be used as a packet sniffer.

Here are my steps.

Step 1: nRF Sniffer with Wireshark setup.
I followed the instructions and did.

Step 2: Setup for a bootloader with logging.
I don't need to log, so I didn't do this step.

Step 3: Setup for new Client firmware
I followed the instructions and did.

Step 4: Generating keys
I followed the instructions and did.

nrfutil keys generate priv.pem
nrfutil keys display --key pk --format code priv.pem --out_file dfu_public_key.c

then replace dfu_public_key.c with the <InstallFolder>\examples\dfu\dfu_public_key.c

Step 5: Command line script
I only changed the snr in the script, here is the result of the run.

make -j -C bootloader\pca10056\blank\armgcc
make -j -C Client\pca10056\blank\armgcc
make -j -C Client_test\pca10056\blank\armgcc

nrfutil pkg generate --hw-version 52 --sd-req 0x00 --application-version 2 --application Client_test\pca10056\blank\armgcc\_build\nrf52840_xxaa.hex --key-file priv.pem app_dfu_package.zip

nrfutil settings generate --family NRF52840 --application Client\pca10056\blank\armgcc\_build\nrf52840_xxaa.hex --application-version 1 --bootloader-version 1 --bl-settings-version 1 settings.hex

mergehex -m Client\pca10056\blank\armgcc\_build\nrf52840_xxaa.hex settings.hex -o dfu_Client.hex

PAUSE

Step 6: Test procedure
1. use nrfutil to flash the Server firmware to the Server DK. From the dfu folder (<InstallFolder>\examples\thread\dfu\) open a command prompt window and run the following command:

nrfutil dfu thread -f -pkg app_dfu_package.zip -p COM6 --channel 11 --panid 43981

2. Power up the client,and run script  create in Step 5.

Then the server never had the client upgrade prompt.I have attached the package that my sniffer caught, please help to see why it is not upgraded.

    Hello,

    I have not tested the guide that you linked to before, but perhaps you can try out the following test guide:

    https://infocenter.nordicsemi.com/topic/sdk_tz_v4.1.0/thread_example_dfu.html?cp=7_3_2_10_4_0_2#thread_example_dfu_test

    If you try to run unzip and the dfu folder attached here in SDK\examples\dfu2, and run the test.bat script (change the serial numbers and COM port near the top of test.bat), does that work in your case? If not, what does the terminal output say?

    dfu2.zip

    Best regards,

    Edvin

    I ran the dfu2 file you gave me, here is the output from the terminal, the output just keeps pausing at "Thread DFU server is running... Press <Ctrl + D> to stop. "this line.

    So that means that it is working? Did the LED4 turn on on the client DK after a while? (NB: It takes a while). If not, can you open an RTT viewer to monitor the log from the client DK? Also, make sure that the Thread channel used on the client DK is 12. It should be set in sdk_config.h in the dfu2 folder I sent you, in the client\pca10056\blank\config\sdk_config:

    #define THREAD_CHANNEL 12

    I don't know if it makes a difference, but please set this in the NCP example as well:

    sdk\examples\thread\ncp\ftd\uart\pca10056\blank\config\sdk_config.h.

    If it doesn't work, please let me know what the RTT log of the client DK says.

    Best regards,

    Hi Edvin,

    It worked successfully.Thanks.

    I have one more question. I actually want to implement DFU on  NEC v1.4.99-dev1, is there any example?

    Best regards,

    What is NEC v1.4.99-dev1?

    If you are talking about NCS (nRF Connect SDK), then that is a different story. I am not too experienced with NCS yet, but there is something called mcu_boot. Zephyr has it's own implementation of bootloaders and DFU, and it is not related to the bootloader in the nRF5 SDK. If you are interested in that, I suggest you open a new ticket regarding the NCS bootloader and MCU boot, as it is a different topic than this. 

    Best regards,

    Edvin
