Hello,
I know that you can generate a single zip that contains dat and bin files for sd+bl and dat and bin files for the app.
Is it possible to generate a single dat and bin files that contains sd+bl+app?
I will modify the bootloader to handle it.
All the best,
Ofer.
Hi Ofer,
The main reason we don't support this option to combine sd+bl+app was that usually it's not enough swap space to receive the combine image of the three when remaining the images of the current ones. So that we split the SD+BL+APP into two phase, first phase is to receive SD+BL , at this phase, the current application is removed and the second phase is to update the new APP when the new BL+SD is replaced and running.
Let's do some calculations. For example, the ble_app_hrs and the S140 v7.2.0 require around 256kB + BL and BL settings(32kB) = 288kB.
This is without the application's data that you may have (bond information for example).
If you still have enough swap space to receive the image, then it's possible to do the update in one shot. But you would need to modify the bootloader to handle the combined updated and you also need to modify the nrfutil to generate the combine image.
Thank you Hung,
The activation of the bootloader and softdevice happens after reset in the bootloader. As I understand, If I update the bl+sd to a newer version the old app might not work and I couldn't update it.
Hi Ofer,
After nrf_dfu_mbr_copy_bl() call the MBR will swap the old bootloader with the new bootloader and trigger a reset. After that you should see the new bootloader running.
You would then modify the bootloader setting so that the new bootloader would detect that there is an image for the application and it would need to swap the application.
I would assume that you know how to compile the bootloader with no optimization and know how to step into the code of the bootloader and debug.
Hi Hung,
I was able to do the full DFU. I added the NRF_DFU_BANK_VALID_SD_BL_APP case where it activates the application first, then the SD and then the BL.
I generated my DFU package with a release version of my bootloader.
When I test from release bootloader to release bootloader it works but when I try from debug bootloader to release bootloader it fails at the bootloader section.

Is the problem going from debug to release?
Thank you,
Ofer.
Hi Ofer,
Have you checked if the start address in flash of the debug build and the release build is actually the same ?
I would suggest to test by simply use nrfjprog to overwrite the debug bootloader with the release bootloader and check if it can run.
If it run you may need to print out logging or use GPIOs toggle to debug.
Thank you Hung,
In the Segger bootloader project, I right click the project and then in the Build->Memory Segments I get for both:
FLASH RX 0x0 0x100000;RAM1 RWX 0x20000000 0x40000;uicr_bootloader_start_address RX 0x10001014 0x4;bootloader_settings_page RX 0x000FF000 0x1000;uicr_mbr_params_page RX 0x10001018 0x4;mbr_params_page RX 0x000FE000 0x1000
Is it enough to say that they both start at the same place?
All the best,
Ofer.
Hi Ofer,
The actual start address is at Section Placement Macros. For example here the bootloader starts at 0xF8000 in flash.
