NRF52832 won't reset chip after dfu

Hello,

I not sure what Softdevice version you use, but based on the address range, it seems like the program is running inside the sd_app_evt_wait() idle loop. So it has not "crashed" at least.

Can you check if the device is advertising in DFU mode?

It can be tricky to get RTT logging working with both a bootloader and app running on the same device: https://devzone.nordicsemi.com/f/nordic-q-a/30310/easy-way-to-merge-bootloader-and-application-rtt-output. I would suggest to enable UART logging in the app if that's an option.

no logs print out while in stage of bootloader with application In combination with freertos

application: \examples\ble_peripheral\ble_app_buttonless_dfu +freertos

actually both the application and dfu running well,but no logs print out while in stage of bootloader

here is the rtt log:

00> <info> app: Setting vector table to bootloader: 0x00071000
00>
00> <info> app: Setting vector table to main app: 0x00026000

Can you run "nrfjprog --readregs" when the device has gotten stuck in this state? I.e. after the "00> <debug> app: Disabling interrupts. NVIC->ICER[0]: 0x0" line is printed. The Program Counter (PC) should tell us exactly where it hangs.

bootloader does not enable UART OR logging,

Removing line contains NRF_LOG_FLUSH (nrf_bootloader_app_start.c:75) have no affect.

bootloader is base on the examples without any change:

1. nRF5_SDK_17.0.2_d674dde\examples\dfu\secure_bootloader\pca10040_s132_ble

2. nRF5_SDK_17.0.2_d674dde\examples\dfu\secure_bootloader\pca10040_s132_ble_debug

Another strange issue : no logs print out while in stage of bootloader with application In combination with freertos

application: \examples\ble_peripheral\ble_app_buttonless_dfu +freertos

actually both the application and dfu running well,but no logs print out while in stage of bootloader

Hello,

Does your bootloader have logging over UART enabled logging by any chance? That's can cause the bootloader to hang indefinitely for the reasons discussed in this post: https://devzone.nordicsemi.com/f/nordic-q-a/57536/freeze-in-nrf_bootloader_app_start-on-nrf_log_flush
