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, 

I think we need to align the test process before continue. 
- I assume you haven't modified the bootloader ? 
- In the test you described in your last reply, you used your own update tool, not nrfutil ? 
If it's the case, have you tried to do exactly what I did of breaking nrfutil when updating a .zip test package  ? 
If it doesn't work please try again with SDK v17.1 (just for testing). Then we know it must be something changed in the newer SDK. 

If nrfutil works, then we will need to look into what's the different between your update tool and nrfutil. 

It's quite strange to see the difference between hex #1 and hex #2. From what I can see it seems when you do BLE update the application goes straight into the primary bank, without storing in secondary bank. When with your update tool it does to the secondary bank before copied to primary bank. 

Regarding the change at 0XFE000. It's normal to see that. It's because the MBR_Param page, when in bootloader mode, will be used as mp_dfu_settings_backup_buffer to back up the DFU settings. You can find that that page is identical to page 0xFF000, because it's a backup. It's normal that the bootloader setting change after you start/continue DFU process. It's where the progress of the DFU is stored. 

The question here is that why the bootloader couldn't continue and calculate the CRC. I think at this point you would need to step into the bootloader and try to debug it to see why it works with nrfutil (at least on my side) but not with your dfu update tool. 
I would suggest to test with the debug version of the bootloader. With the debug version you can put a breakpoint and step into the code. You can also add log and print the log out on RTT. 
I assume you have turned on PRN (packet receive notification) when you start the DFU bootloader process ? 

The main handling of the DFU process is inside nrf_dfu_req_handler.c. The nrf_dfu_command_req() function is where you should start.

Dear Hung Bui,

Thanks again for your answer. You are right when you say that we are using our own program to update the Nordic (as it is on a mezzanine board connected via UART to another MCU. It is the latter that updates the Nordic, i.e. replaces nrfutil). Anyway I am able to detach the Nordic mezzanine, connect tx/rx to a serial adapter and use nrfutil to update it. The result is what you see attached:
1) If I erase the Nordic, upload the SD+bootloader and then update the Nordic with the signed zip packet through nrfutil, the update is successful and I see the Nordic fw starting at 0x26000 (as the flash is blank the start address of the cached image coincides with the application image I believe), see _1 images. Please note that I used -prn 200 as in your tests and that I cannot use flow control due to its absence in our board. Could this represent an issue?

2) If I now erase again the Nordic, upload the SD+bootloader and then update the Nordic with the signed zip packet through nrfutil BUT stop the procedure with ctrl+c at about half, I see what I would expect, i.e. data till about half of the application fw size (0x3FC80) and then 0xffs, see _2 images.

3) If I try the update from nrfutil again (without previously erasing the MCU this time) with the same parameters I see no change in the MCU image wrt point 2. On the oscilloscope one can see nrfutil pinging the MCU (whose bootloader should be active since the upload of the application in point 2 failed) but with no answer from the MCU. You might remember that when our proprietary update tool was used the behaviour was slightly different, with the first 1K of the applcation being sent before the CRC request was not served by the bootloader.

As for your questions:
- I haven't modified the bootloader but I enabled the relevant options in the sdk_config.h to operate DFU both through BLE and UART, which is what we need in our application.
- As mentioned before, we use our update tool, but the behaviour with nrfutil is similar (not equal, see point 3)

I still have to try with 17.1 (should check with other co-developers if this is feasible, as the project might not compile and/or produce unwanted behaviours) and debug the bootloader to see what is going on there. Will do the latter immediately after this, meanwhile any further tips based on this additional info would be great
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.

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.

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.
