Hi All,

i am using the below link to flash the bootloader

https://devzone.nordicsemi.com/guides/nrf-connect-sdk-guides/b/software/posts/device-firmware-update-dfu-with-mcuboot-bootloader

but it gives me this error when i build

Hi

I will try to reproduce your issue.
But first: which version of the Toolchain are you using?

Regards,
Sigurd Hellesvik

[Tushar_V]

Hi,

iam using nrf sdk :1.7.1

toolchain:gcc-arm-none-eabi-10.3-2021.10

Hi

I get the same error as you.

I suspect that this is due to some changes since v1.4.1, which the tutorial was made for.

To fix this now, just make a folder named child_image in your project, and move the "usb_cdc_acm_log_recovery.conf" to this folder.
Then you do not need the "Dmcuboot_OVERLAY_CONFIG" argument any more either.

Does this fix your issue?

Hi,

when i dont put argument Dmcuboot_OVERLAY_CONFIG it gets build and then i flash it successfully

so i went RUNNING DFU PROCESS i have installed mcumgr and in when i do step no 27, i dont get the image that is shown in step no 28 of the below link.

Hi

I forgot that you also need to rename the file inside the child_image folder to mcuboot to mcuboot.conf.
Then your folder structure will look like this:

To check that the settings are set correctly, you can do:

west build -b nrf52840dk_nrf52840 -–pristine -t mcuboot_menuconfig

and verify that the "Flash space reserved" as explained in step 10 is already set as what you set it to in the configuration.

Hi Sigurd Hellesvik,

With your suggestion i was able to flash the bootloader but when i come step 31 and write this command

mcumgr --conntype serial --connstring "/dev/<your_serial_port_name>,baud=115200" image list.

it gives error nmp timeout in ubuntu

Hi

Which available ttyACM interfaces do you have available?

ls /dev/ttyACM*

Regards,

[Tushar_V]

It's  /dev/ttyACM0 .
