Troubleshooting the Generation of dfu_application.zip in Zephyr Bluetooth Peripheral Sample

Sachin Rawat

Hi
I am working on a peripheral sample located at zephyr/samples/bluetooth, which I modified according to my needs.

I am having trouble generating dfu_appliaction.zip for my application. I have added the thingy53_nrf5340_cpuapp.conf from another sample "peripheral_uart", which I believe is having the config for generating zip. Below is what I have added as a .conf

After building, this is the error that I am facing

   77 | #define BUILD_ASSERT(EXPR, MSG...) _Static_assert(EXPR, "" MSG)

   45 |            PM_MCUBOOT_PRIMARY_1_ID :         \

Help me, I need to generate dfu_application.zip for the OTA firmware update.

    Hi, 

    Are you using Thingy53, nRF5340DK, or the custom board?

    It seems you remove the external flash setting form thingy53_nrf5340_cpuapp.conf comparing to https://github.com/nrfconnect/sdk-nrf/blob/v1.9.1/samples/bluetooth/peripheral_uart/boards/thingy53_nrf5340_cpuapp.conf#L50-L59 

    If you are going to do simultaneous multi-image dfu, you would need ext. flash. 

    For using thingy53, it would also need the related file under https://github.com/nrfconnect/sdk-nrf/tree/v1.9.1/samples/bluetooth/peripheral_uart/boards like pm_static_thingy53_nrf5340_cpuapp.yml and thingy53_nrf5340_cpuapp.overlay. 

    Regards,
    Amanda H.

    I am using thingy53

    Ohh yeah, Now I have added it again in the code and have a look at mine .conf

    Thanks, I have added the required file and now my directory looks like this

    All other errors are resolved except

    Hi, 

    Seems you get a "FLASH overflowed" error from mcuboot, you can try to increase the size of the MCUBoot partition to 0x10000 (or more) by setting the CONFIG_PM_PARTITION_SIZE_MCUBOOT in the child_image/mcuboot.conf. Check the file <application>/<build>/mcuboot/zephyr/.config and confirm that CONFIG_PM_PARTITION_SIZE_MCUBOOT got the correct value.

    You are awesome,

    thanks for the quick help.

    I wish other nordic experts were as helpful as you.

    I am stuck on another thing.

    Firstly I build the peripheral_lbs from samples and upload that hex to thingy53.<---This is done so that the Bluetooth will be enabled to get connect to the mobile app.

    After that I use the nrf connect mobile app to connect to the board, there I got an option for DFU using the OTA. I select the zip( which is my original code based on the peripheral sample from the zephyr directory) and update the firmware.

    Till the time it is working, but when I again connect it using nrf app, the DFU option disappears.

    I want that the DFU option will be always there so that I can update the firmware again and again for always.

    Help me in achieving that.
