I am unable dot get ble dfu bootload to work with and soft device other than s130

[johnsop1]

I have built the dfu_dual_bank_ble_s110_pca10028 project and attempted to load the ble_app_hrs_s110with_dfu_pca10028 application. I did find that if the use the S130 softdevice the download worked. The application does not run after down load because it is built for the wrond soft device. I did find that the ble_app_hts_s130_with_dfu_pca10028 application downloaded and ran fine.

Our goal is to down load our application that uses the s120 soft device. Do you have a working boot loader example that uses the s120 soft device?

The wire shark capture looks like this when the s110 softdevice is installed

Hi John,

Could you let me know if the bootloader for S110 worked for you ? Just to make sure you have a proper setting ?

If you do a search for S120 bootloader in our devzone, you will be able to find the example. Please have a look here.

[johnsop1]

I have tried the S110, S120 and S130. Only the S130 worked.

[Hung Bui]

@Johnsop1: Please describe the issue you observed when testing with S110. A sniffer trace would be appreciated. Note that the dfu_dual_bank_ble_S110_pca10028 should not work with S130.

[johnsop1]

The wire shark trace above to from the dfu_dual_bank_pca10028 and the S110. As you can see the connection drops shorty after starting the download. Strangely, If I have the S130 loaded with the same bootloader the download works.

Hi John,

Sorry that I didn't notice you posted the trace for S110. Please post the full trace, by click File -> Save and attach the file in the question.

I have to correct my self. The S110 and S130 share quite similar APIs so there is a chance that the bootloader for S110 works with S130, but it should also work with S110. I attached here a hex file built on my computer. Please test it with S110 v8.0 and let me know the result.
