RE: Problem about thread OTA

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

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,

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,

Edvin

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?

devzone.nordicsemi.com/.../dfu2.zip

Best regards,

Edvin
