S310 DFU "Operation Failed"

@Paul: Yes, it's provided, please have a look here

Your modification is correct if you do reset to jump from application to bootloader. But you won't be able to share bond information between the bootloader and the application (unless you implement your own code to get bond information from flash)

I did changed the bootloader a little:

    ble_stack_init(!app_reset);

	ble_stack_init(true);

That's about it. And it worked.

But do you have your example for starting bootloader directly from application?

Thanks

@Paul: I'm not sure how it worked for you, because in our bootloader we don't expect a reset, but a direct jump from application to bootloader with the softdevice kept initialized. Maybe you have modified the bootloader. I discussed a little bit about this at section C in this blog.

Update: I got it working! This is the trick:

				sd_power_gpregret_clr(0xFF);
				sd_power_gpregret_set(0xB1);
				sd_nvic_SystemReset();

I tried this in my application. It didn't work.

				NRF_POWER->GPREGRET = 0xB1;
				NVIC_SystemReset();

I switched my application to SDK9.0. As I have expected, there are a few tricky things need to be modified to make the old project work. And I uploaded the application zip file into the unit successfully and worked. Thanks for your help @Hung Bui. Now I am trying find an example showing how to reactivate the bootloader in my application. Do you have one you can share with me? Thanks

Paul

Sorry, I forgot that we are talking about S310. S310 is not support natively on SDK v8.x. But if in your application is used with S310 v3.0.0 then they should work, regardless which SDK they based on.

They use different softdevice, they cannot work together :-)

@Paul: You can have bootloader compile in SDK 9.0 and your application in SDK v8.x. The issue was due to the new nrfjprog version. You can simply use nRFGo studio to flash the bootloader. My dual bank ble S310 project is the stock project from SDK , with no modification.

I used nRF Studio and uploaded the bootloader. I was able to upload dx02.zip now! Anyway to fix the nrfjprog.exe command line?

RE: S310 DFU "Operation Failed"

OK, I tried copy the example only, using SDK V8 to compile. Passed compiling, but same issue. Now I just upgraded the SDK to V9. Compiling is OK, but I am getting this message when downloading:

ERROR: Option "--family" provided is incompatible with any of the erase, program, and reset arguments.

Please help

I am hesitating to get SDK v9.0 right now because it may break my existing projects. What SDK you are using for dx02.zip? Thanks. Paul Edit: Can you also send your dual_bank_ble_s310 project? Just to make sure all the setting in the project is correct.

Hi Paul,

I'm trying here with your dx02.zip file and had no trouble uploading it from nRFtoolbox from my iPAD.

I would suggest you to download SDK v9.0 here, and test with the S310 DFU example located at \examples\dfu\bootloader\pca10028\dual_bank_ble_s310

@Paul: Please let me know the SDK version you tested with (of the bootloader and application).

If you have a nRF51 DK or dongle, please capture and upload a sniffer trace when you do DFU.

Please upload your files that you use for DFU so that we can test here.
