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

[ste2108]

Just an addendum: I also tried to start the update of our Nordic board with nrfutil and the serial adapter and to unplug the serial adapter instead of killing by ctrl-c. If I restart nrfutil, the update crashes as the offset is still the old one (i.e. 0x0000).
It looks like the update sistematically starts where it was interrupted by requiring the offset related to the last written data (which is of course 0x0000 when the update starts from scratch). Is there a way to always require an update from scratch, maybe by setting some sdk_config define? This would possibily solve our problem since we do not really care about saving time...
Thanks.

Hi Stefano, 

From what I can find in the code, if you set NRF_DFU_SAVE_PROGRESS_IN_FLASH to 0 the progress will only be stored in RAM: 

// <q> NRF_DFU_SAVE_PROGRESS_IN_FLASH - Save DFU progress in flash.

// <i> Save DFU progress to flash so that it can be resumed if interrupted, instead of being restarted.
// <i> Keep this setting disabled to maximize transfer speed and minimize flash wear.
// <i> The init packet is always saved in flash, regardless of this setting.

#ifndef NRF_DFU_SAVE_PROGRESS_IN_FLASH
#define NRF_DFU_SAVE_PROGRESS_IN_FLASH 0
#endif

Here is what I find in nrf_dfu_req_handler.c: 

So if you set the configuration to 0, the bootloader will store to flash when the whole image is stored. So if you trigger a reset on the DFU target either soft reset or pin/power reset, you should be able to clear the progress. 

However, the init packet progress will always be stored: 

So if you want to avoid the nrfutil to recover and continue (at least the init packet) from the previous failed DFU update, I would suggest to look at this line: https://github.com/NordicSemiconductor/pc-nrfutil/blob/master/nordicsemi/dfu/dfu_transport_serial.py#L250

If we remove the try_to_recover() or change it to always return false, I believe that nrfutil will always start sending as new image and will not try to continue from where it stopped.

Dear Hung Bui,

Thanks so much for your help throughout all this thread. In the end the best way for us to implement what you advised in your last message within our code (which does in c exactly what nrfutil does in python) was to ignore the offset and crc returned by the firmware and set both to 0. In this way when the update is restarted after an interruption everything is sent from scratch and the update is successful.

Kind regards,

Stefano
