problem with UART update on nRF52840

[ste2108]

Good morning,

in our project we would like to implement a DFU system of our Nordic 52840 through UART. In the final version of the board the 52840 will be connected to another MCU through serial, but for the moment we are updating the Nordic through a USB serial adapted connected to the rx/tx pins of the Nordic MCU and using the nrfutil.

What we observe is the following:

1) If I upload the fw through nrfutil after having loaded the SD and the BL itself, the procedure is successful in about 25 seconds

2) If I cancel the DFU procedure while it is ongoing and then I repeat it, only the first SLIP packets are exchanged and the first 4k data batch is sent. When the CRC is requested to the Nordic, no answer is apparently received and the program exits. Please see the attached log, obtained with the -v-v-v-v nrfutil option. The command I use is: 

nrfutil -v -v -v -v dfu serial -cd 1 -p COM36 -fc 0 -b 115200 -pkg NordicPackage.zip

the used zip has been signed with a proprietary private key (.pem file) and of course the bootloader has been compiled with the related public key. I believe I am safe on the public/private key side cause otherwise the first update would not be successful. We also tried the procedure with the usb-serial option, but the behaviour seems to be the same.

Can you please tell me if you have any idea on what the problem is? I would (naively?) expect that if I interrupt the UART DFU procedure in the middle I should then be able to safely repeat it.

Please find attached:

the sdk_config.h used (it has been changed wrt the original one to adapt it to the project's needs)

the aforementioned log file

Thank you.

Kind regards,

Stefano

Hi Stefano, 

As far as I know nrfutil doesn't have the feature to continue DFU update after interrupted. The documentation here mentioned about that the DFU master can start by select the last object was sent and can determine that it should re-send the object or continue with the new object. 
But this feature is not implemented in nrfutil. 

From the log you provided nrfutil simply send a new init packet (initialize packet ) for a new DFU update. The problem here is that the bootloader is still in the process of the interrupted DFU update. I would assume that it wouldn't expect the init packet and didn't response to the init packet send request. 

So in your case if you are planning to make your own DFU master then you can implement this feature to continue DFU update after interrupted (you can refer to our BLE DFU library on the phone that you can find inside nRF Toolbox or nRF Device Firmware Update. As far as I know the feature to continue after interrupted is implemented on the apps. 

Another option is to send an abort command (0x0C) to reset the bootloader and start a new DFU update. I don't think we have the feature implemented on nrfutil neither. The solution is do a power/pin reset on the board after you have an interrupted DFU update.

Dear Hung Bui,

Thank you for your quick answer. Trying to understand which is the last unsent packet and restart the update from there can be tricky and we don't want to do that. However, the problem I described in my message takes place not only if I perform an update attempt (through nrfutil) immediately after I cancelled the ongoing one, but also if I stop the update, switch the board off/on and then perform the second DFU attempt. In our custom board we perform a board reset each time we attempt a DFU (because we need to send the board in DFU mode from the application fw) and the result is the same as the one observed on the Nordic updated through nrfutil and connected straight to a serial adapter
Do you have some other ideas on why this happens? Could you do a quick test on your side (it takes justa  couple of minutes) to confirm if you see the same behaviour? 

Thanks.

Kind regards,

Stefano

Hi Stefano, 

I did another test with SDK v16.0 and nrfutil 6.1.6 . I don't have an issue to continue update after aborting: 

But I do find that if I trigger a reset in between the DFU update will start from 0 again. From what I understand, before the image is completely received,  the DFU progress is only stored in RAM. 

It could be the case when you try to read flash in between the update. The Bootloader will be hung and won't be able to continue. You will need to do a reset, and it will clear the progress and it will start from 0. So in your next test, please don't read flash.

I attached here the files I used. Please use them to test. 

6371.DFU2.zip

[ste2108]

Dear Hung Bui,

I managed to test the files you sent me and here is the result. I uploaded the SD and the BL you sent me (in this order) and then I tried to update the board using your application and nrfutil version 6.1.7 (which should be equal to 6.1.6). As you see in the picture, the update does not event start. On the oscilloscope I see pings from the serial device but no response. The only difference I have wrt what you advised is the flow control, which in my case is set to 0 as I do not have the needed pins on my board.
I do not really need the update to start from the point where it was interrupted, starting from scratch after an interruption would be just fine. Also, I read the flash image just to report the issue to you, it is not something I do sistematically and the result is the same with or without it.

[Hung Bui]

Hi Stefano, 

Could you let me know which hardware you were using for testing ? I was using nRF52840 DK for testing. And the COM port used was the COMPORT created by the debugger.  

[ste2108]

In addition I am experiencing serious problems debugging the bootloader. I can start the debug session (breakpoint at the beginning of main) and I set a bp in the function you pointed out, but when I let the bl run and I start the update process the debug session sistematically returns a series of errors in reading registers and I have to restart it. Is there some register that I can read, e.g. using nrfjpog, whose value can shed some light on why the interrupted update is not working?
Thanks.

Regards,

Stefano

Hi Stefano, 

To be able to debug the bootloader, you should use the debug version of the bootloader, not the project  without "debug". The one without "debug" is optimized and you can't step in the code. Make sure you erase the chip before flashing the debug version because it needs to re-write the UICR. 

Please let me know which hardware board you are using for testing my firmware.
