Ble bootloader Dfu not Advertising in Nrf connect

You first need to generate an upgrade image using nrfutil. As you are using legacy DFU you need to use nrfutil 0.5.x, as newer version will not work. See Creating an image file. Then you can use for instance nRF Connect for Mobile to do the actual DFU procedure.

Now I got a hex that working single bank but how can I send my code hex and softdevice using Dfu and work that code in it.

It is not easy to say what the problem is without knowing exactly how you test. Can you explain in more detail?

Which country and region do you work in? Perhaps local FAE support would be a good idea.

I checked with with single bank for me it's not getting, I tried with other shared hex and softdevice that is working. But in my case it's not working. Other how can I send a work the blink hex in the working single bank what and all things I need to do in that.

I see. The DFU bootloader in SDK 11 is quite well documented. Can you start by testing the unmodified example on a DK so that you understand the process before moving on to your custom HW? That way we can keep any uncertainty about adaptations to your HW out of the equation in the beginning, reducing the number of unknowns.

Sdk11 that's what I'm using, bootloader dfu single bank. Actually I need to send program hex to nrf using Dfu and work that hex in that.

SDK 51 is no SDK version. Can you check which version you have? If you want to use the legacy bootloader, that was used up to and including SDK 11. By the way, why do you want the legacy bootloader?

But over there only secure bootloader only seen. Sdk 51 what can I do to advertise

I can see if I find a more detailed step-by-step guide. Which exact SDK version are you using (I understand you are using the eS110 version 8.0.0 SoftDevice, but I also need to know the SDK version)? Also, assuming you have decided to use the nRF51 - why do you not use a more recent SDK if you are starting development now? The most recent SDK with support for the nRF51 is the nRF5 SDK version 12.3.

I need to get Dfu bootloader in Connect .

I compiled the code in {sdknrf51} examples/Dfu/bootloader/pca10028/ single bank/arm5 no packs in keil.

After that I used that hex in the build in the folder. And updated by erasing all then updated softdevice and then this hex file.

But this case it's not advertising also not blinking led.

That's why for getting that did I want to do all this step in the link for getting the ble Dfu??

I got an hex from single Dfu that done this step or something that advertising. So what I missed and what all things did I want to do in this before this?

Thanks

Deepak

I am not sure what you mean. Can you explain in more detail? Regarding the link you provided that seems to contain good information, but you do not need all that to run the DFU bootloader example.

github.com/.../Bootloader.md did I want to do all this step before compilation, what and all change did I want to do??

RE: Ble bootloader Dfu not Advertising in Nrf connect

Einar Thorsrud — Wed, 15 Sep 2021 09:39:45 GMT

That should be all. Is it still not advertising? If not, are you testing on a DK or custom board? If you are using a custom board that does not have an external 32.768 kHz crystal remember to modify the bootloader project to use LFRC instead.

deepak01 — Tue, 14 Sep 2021 18:45:17 GMT

Yes both done, any other changes to be done or not

Einar Thorsrud — Tue, 14 Sep 2021 14:50:26 GMT

I see. Did you remember to program the SoftDevice as well as the bootloader? (First program the SoftDevice, then the bootloader.)

RE: Ble bootloader Dfu not Advertising in Nrf connect

deepak01 — Tue, 14 Sep 2021 14:05:27 GMT

I tried as mentioned but that also not advertising as well as led also not blinking

RE: Ble bootloader Dfu not Advertising in Nrf connect

Einar Thorsrud — Tue, 14 Sep 2021 12:08:59 GMT

Yes, that should be the case

RE: Ble bootloader Dfu not Advertising in Nrf connect

deepak01 — Tue, 14 Sep 2021 11:33:58 GMT

After this will it start advertising Dfu ble

deepak01 — Tue, 14 Sep 2021 11:20:53 GMT

Ok thanks, so in sdk51 examples/dcu/pca10028/singlebank compiling after that in Nrfgo erasing after that loading softdevice and hexfile right. After that advertising start right. Any other things need to do in it?

RE: Ble bootloader Dfu not Advertising in Nrf connect

Einar Thorsrud — Tue, 14 Sep 2021 11:17:39 GMT

Yes. nRF51822 and nRF51422 is identical in every regard except that the nRF52822 cannot use a ANT stack. For all other uses they are identical, and this is why the DK etc only exists with the nRF51422.

RE: Ble bootloader Dfu not Advertising in Nrf connect

deepak01 — Tue, 14 Sep 2021 10:43:44 GMT

Is that for Nrf51822

Hi,

I suggest you refer to the example project, which has this configuration correct allready. This is where you stated, under <SDK8>\examples\dfu\bootloader\pca10028\single_bank_serial_s110\arm5_no_packs\. Here the configuration is as shown here:

I suggest your revert to the example and start form that. If you need to do any changes, then that is possible, but the example is a good starting point.

Compiled and flashed using nrfgo but not advertising anything any changes and what iram, iron and things want to do.
