few questions about bootloader settings

[ziv123]

hello Nordic

i am working with nrf52832 soc with SDK 16.0, S132 V7.0.1

following this path:

https://devzone.nordicsemi.com/nordic/short-range-guides/b/software-development-kit/posts/getting-started-with-nordics-secure-dfu-bootloader

and this : https://infocenter.nordicsemi.com/index.jsp?topic=%2Fug_nrfutil%2FUG%2Fnrfutil%2Fnrfutil_settings_generate_display.html

1. when trying to read current setting of existing bootloader in the examples i get this:

C:\Nordik SDK\examples\dfu\secure_bootloader>nrfutil settings display pca10040_uart\ses\Output\Release\Exe\secure_bootloader_uart_mbr_pca10040.hex
Bad access at 0x7F000: not enough data to read 4 contiguous bytes
Usage: nrfutil settings display [OPTIONS] HEX_FILE

Error: Failed to parse .hex file: Bad access at 0xFF000: not enough data to read 4 contiguous bytes

why is that ?

2. if i generate a setting for the bootloader and i include the softdevice in the "nrf settings generate command (like so:  --softdevice FILE s132_nrf52_7.0.1_softdevice.hex)

do i still need to mergehex the bootloader with the s132 hex file ? considering that when i flash my application (using SEGGER) after erasing the nrf52832 i do not need to flash the softdevice separately

3. the settings generate command refers to application version, do i need to change the setting each time i change application version or it's name (considering the version is in the name) ?

4. if i mergehex the bootloader settings hex file with the bootloader hex file and i flash the bootloader without having an application flashed on the device, what will happen ? would i be able to flash the application via SEGGER normally or must i have the application hex flashed before the flashing of the bootloader or mergehex with the bootloader ?

that it for now

p.s. 5. in the dfu examples, what's the difference between pca10040_uart to pca10040_uart_debug can both be used for production also can they be used for a PCB not an nrf52832DK ? 

hope to read from you soon

best regards

Ziv

still does not work for the second time though no nothing crashes and i do get into the bootloader

Hi,

After "Initializing nrf_fstorage_nvmc backend." the next line is "Enter main loop" which is the first line that is logged by the bootloader. So apparently here has been a reset for some reason. There is nothing in the log indicating why, though. Do you have a watchdog active or could it be another reason for the reset?

the app has a watch dog but i thought that if i reset the app then the watchdog is gone .. or do i need to stop the watchdog before the soft reset before going to dfu ?

maybe bootloader has a watchdog ?

The watchdog is not reset by a soft reset (see reset behavior table), so it will continue to run. Please test without a watchdog to see if that explains the issue you are seeing or not before going forward. (It could also be that the reset is caused by something else though I see no indication of what in the log).

It is not possible to stop the watchdog once it has been started. The only way to stop the watchdog then is to perform one of the resets that stop it (see reset behavior table again).

No, but the bootloader can feed the watchdog for you if needed and does so automatically (see implementation in components\libraries\bootloader\nrf_bootloader_wdt.c). If you have a too short timeout it could cause problems, though.

Hey Einar

indeed the watchdog seems to be the cause for the reset.

Einar Thorsrud said:

however, after reading about this it seems to me that from the running application, without outside user intervention, the only reset which is possible for me is actually the watch dog reset which to my understanding only happen when watchdog timeout event is triggered, and no configuration to CVS or possibilities to change timer or triggers timeout event is possible. 

so, is it true that the only way i have to get a reset which will also rest the watchdog (considering no user intervention on pin pressing or shutting of the system) is to stuck my application until i get a timeout event ?

if this is the case this is very awkward

i don't want to create a dependency between the bl and the application

hope to read from you soon

best regards
