DFU on nRF Master Control Panel (andriod version)

[oceanide]

Dear all.

I have some test result on DFU feature. Please any comment on this issue.

test condition

• Mater control panel (64-bit version)

• nRFgo studio (64-bit version) : 1.19.0.7

• Smart Beacon Kit : PCA20006

• Pre-compiled binary within Smart Beacon Kit v1.1.0

test result

• With PCA10000 dongle : The DFU is successful with all binaries.

• nRF Master Control Panel v2.1.1 (android version)

  Only application DFU is successful. The DFU with bootloader and softdevice is NOT successful. Remote DFU Invalid CRC error happen so that I captured log files for two cases.

@Oceanide: I'm sorry indeed for the late response.

Regarding the issue, which .zip file did you use to update the softdevice and bootloader ? Could you attach them to your question?

Have you tried to do DFU with nRFToolbox and nRFBeacon app ?

The nRFMaster Control Panel may not be compatible with the new .zip file standard (with .json file). We are releasing a new version of the Master Control Panel in the next few days.

bootloader.hex

bootloader.dat

Hi, all Android apps (nRF MCP, Toolbox and Beacon) support all features of DFU. You should be able to update only softdevice or only bootloader using the hex file (with providing .dat file, if required by the bootloader). You should also be able to update softdevice and bootloader by putting them to a ZIP file and naminig the files softdevice.hex, bootloader.hex (and optionally system.dat with the init packet for combined files). However, as Hung said, we now recommend you to use the nrf.exe tool from the PC version on Master Control Panel. I have written some documentation how to do that here: github.com/.../init packet handling
