[NRF51822] UART DFU SDK example on PCA10001 board

[Nick]

PROJECT: nrf51_sdk_v5_2_0_39364\nrf51822\Board\nrf6310\device_firmware_updates\bootloader BOARD: PCA10001 v2.2.0 SOFTDEVICE: s110_nrf51822_6.0.0_softdevice

1. Flashed SoftDevice with nRFGo Studio
2. Modified bootloader project (dfu_dual_bank_hci) with PCA10001 pin-outs (LEDs, UART, buttons)
3. Flashed the bootloader project with the nrfjprog.exe tool in Keil - checked memory map with nRFGo Studio - addresses match Keil project settings.
4. Attempted programming of an example project HEX with "hci_dfu_send_hex.exe" with parameters: -f #H -p COM3 -fc

Returns "Progress: 100" (last output line) -> However, the application actually isn't flashed to the device...

Strangely enough, even if there is no bootloader on the device, the "hci_dfu_send_hex.exe" still returns success!

Are there some changes I need to make to the bootloader project in order to use it with the PCA10001 board?

Thanks in advance.

If you can, try giving the master control panel a go. I was able to do successful DFU from that application.

Do you mean nRFgo Studio? I tried using that with no success.

Nope, there is a protected download called "nRF-MCP-x64" in my "My Downloads" page. It should be available if you have purchased the eval or development kits. Nordic employees can correct me if I am wrong.

Thanks for the reply syntroniks! I do have the nRF Master Control Panel - are you referring to <File> <Flash Programming> ? I'm under the impression that this actually uses the on-board JLink chip to flash the device (not the bootloader).

I am writing a response since I can not attach images to comments. This is the button I am looking @:

Maybe you need to update your master control panel. I am using a device marked as PCA10000 as the dongle. We may be talking about different transports as I use the over-the-air firmware update only.
