If you’re initiating Segger J-Link Driver, please check the guideline here(Click me)


After the installations are completed, you can see the following applications under the:

“Programs and Features” section in the Control Panel.

3. Programming/Development

nRF Connect SDK (NCS) supports development using the free VS (Visual Studio) Code IDE.
Here’s how to select and install the NCS SDK version (nRF Connect SDK vx.x.x):


Step1.

Open “nRF Connect for Desktop” → Choose “Toolchain Manager” → then click” Open”


Step2.

You’ll see a list of nRF Connect SDK versions. It’s recommended to install NCS v2.6.0 or later.
Here, we use NCS v2.6.0 as an example.


Step3.

Before installing NCS v2.6.0, confirm the installation path (Default path → C:\ncs).


If you want to change the path, click “Select directory”, and press OK.


Step4.

After installing the nRFConnect SDK v2.6.0, click “Open VS Code”.


Step5.

Open the Wi-Fi scan example


Step6.

Add build configuration → select the board and compile.


Select board: nrf7002dk_nrf5340_cpuapp.


Step7.

After compilation, a hex file will be generated.


Step8.

Under ACTIONS, you can choose to Build, Debug, or Flash.


Build:


Debug:


Flash:

4. Programming

nRF Connect SDK(NCS) supports programming. You can use the “Programmer” tool to flash .hex file.
Here’s how:


Step1.

Open “nRF Connect for Desktop” → Select “Programmer” → then click” Open”.


Click “Select Device”;


Since AN7002 Wi-Fi IC does not act as an MCU,
we can only flash the .hex file into the MDBT53(nRF5340) BLE IC.


Click “Add file” to add the .hex file.


Step2.

Select the .hex file you want to flash.


The hex file will be written into the part of the memory layout (where orange part is highlighted).


Slashes will be displayed in the circled part during the flash process.


Step3.

Once the flash process is completed, connect Raytac’s AN7002Q-DB-5340 development board to PuTTY.

Tx to p0.20

Rx to p0.22

GND to GND

This is a closer look into the pins that will be connected.


The flash process is completed when the LOG is displayed as circled below.


Check if hardware connection is successful using PuTTY.

Secure DFU OTA for nRF52840 solution modules: Guide to create hex/zip file for implementation – #3(Combining/merging built files)

Posted on by 2 Comments

Following up – Part A: Bootloader (Click for article link) and Part B: Application (Click for article link)

We will be focusing on:

Part C: Combining & merging built files

in this article.

IC: nRF52840
DK: PCA10056 (for nRF52840)
SDK: 17.1.0
Softdevice: s140_nrf52_7.2.0_softdevice.hex
IDE: Keil C
PC: Win 10

Part C: Combining & merging built files

Step 1. Execute the combine batch file in bootloader (nrf52840_bootloader_setting_merge.bat) and generate file of nrf52840_bootloader_secure_combin_settings.hex :

@echo off
title = [ J-Link Tool ] %CD%
set nrfDir=C:\Program Files (x86)\Nordic Semiconductor\nrf5x\bin
set BS= nrf52840_bootloader_secure_settings.hex
set BL= nrf52840_xxaa_s140.hex
set BSBLCombind= nrf52840_bootloader_secure_combin_settings.hex
set path=%nrfDir%;%path%
pause
echo ———–merge image file——————-
mergehex.exe -m %BS% %BL% -o %BSBLCombind%
pause

Step 2. Create a Final.hex file by 3-in-1 batch file(nrf52840_3in1_merge.bat)
※Note : This hex file is created for the production line to pre-load firmware into modules prior to shipment.

@echo off
title = [ J-Link Tool ] %CD%
set nrfDir=C:\Users\user\Desktop\Nordic BLE\nRF5_merge tools\nRF52 bin
set SD= s140_nrf52_7.2.0_softdevice.hex
set BLT= nrf52840_bootloader_secure_combin_settings.hex
set APP= nrf52840_xxaa.hex
set SD_BLT=SD_BLT.hex
set Finalfile=Final.hex
set path=%nrfDir%;%path%
pause
echo ———–merge image file——————-
mergehex.exe -m %SD% %BLT% -o %SD_BLT%
pause
mergehex.exe -m %SD_BLT% %APP% -o %Finalfile%
pause

Step 3. Create a DFU(OTA).zip file of nrf52840_xxaa.zip
※Note : This zip file is created for end device DFU(OTA) implementation.

nrfutil pkg generate –hw-version 52 –sd-req 0x100 –application-version 0xFF –application
nrf52840_xxaa.hex –key-file private.pem nrf52840_xxaa.zip

The DFU OTA zip file will be derived.

※Note :
The “0x100” appeared in the above DOS code(in red font) is the FWID(Firmware ID) for s140_nrf52_7.2.0_softdevice.hex;
FWID can be found from the soft device documents on the Nordic website.


Step 4: Run DFU OTA (On mobile in this example)


4A. Install the nRF Connect APP on mobile, with DFU OTA file: nrf52840_xxaa.zip. (Download link)


4B. Send nrf52840_xxaa.zip via email to mobile device after combination is done on PC, then download it.


4C. Open nRF Connect APP and run connection;


4D. Execute DFU and select “Distribution packet(ZIP)”, thus starting the DFU OTA process.


4E. Start DFU OTA → exit the APP after DFU OTA is completed → restart the mobile device.

Secure DFU OTA for nRF52840 solution modules: Guide to create hex/zip file for implementation – #2(Application)

Posted on by 2 Comments

Following up-Part A: Bootloader (Click for article link)

We will be focusing on:

Part B: Application

in this article.

IC: nRF52840
DK: PCA10056 (for nRF52840)
SDK: 17.1.0
Softdevice: s140_nrf52_7.2.0_softdevice.hex
IDE: Keil C
PC: Win 10


Part B: Application

Path: nRF5_SDK_17.1.0_ddde560\examples\ble_peripheral\ble_app_uart\pca10056\s140\arm5_no_packs

Before building Application code , some amendments need to be made regarding DFU-related settings and code inside Application:

Step 1.


1A. Add code in definition in C/C++ :
BL_SETTINGS_ACCESS_ONLY NRF_DFU_SVCI_ENABLED NRF_DFU_TRANSPORT_BLE=1
(Total 3 steps definitions need to be set up)


1B. Add “include path” in C/C++


1C. Add the .c files inside red frame in (Screenshots 1 & 2)
and the 2 groups of (nRF_DFU & nRF_SVC)(Screenshot 3) under Project(Screenshot 4)



1D. Add code into main.c file in Application (..\examples\ble_peripheral\ble_app_uart\main.c)
(Please refer to: main.c file at: ..\examples\ble_peripheral\ ble_app_buttonless_dfu)


1E. The code of file: sdk_config.h (..\examples\ble_peripheral\ble_app_uart\pca10056\s140\config\
sdk_config.h) inside Application needs to be modified.


1F. Adjust the IRAM1 value in Target after implementing DFU service:
Check on the IRAM1 Value of *p_app_ram_start to be modified from default: 0x20002AE8 0x3D518 to 0x20002AF8 0x3D508, as shown in the red frame in the bottom right corner.
In this case, the program should run successfully.


1G: Create a file of: nrf52840_xxaa.hex after building application code files.


Step 2. Create a bootloader setting file of nrf52840_bootloader_secure_settings.hex : (via DOS)

nrfutil settings generate –family NRF52840 –application nrf52840_xxaa.hex –application-version 3 — bootloader-version 2 –bl-settings-version 1 nrf52840_bootloader_secure_settings.hex –no-backup


※Stay tuned for #3 – Part C: Combining and merging built files in the next article,

scheduled release in next week(05/06/2024).

Bluetooth products must purchase DID and submit the testing evidence issued by BQE to completed the SIG registration and activate the DID

Only products’s DID been activated then allowed to use Bluetooth logo.

Developer’s who built the products based on Raytac module is allow to relable Raytac’s DID to easy the process.

Simply purchase their own DID from SIG, and relabel Raytac’s DID then can completethe Bluetooth activation process.

Raytac’s MDBT40/MDBT40-P QDID/DID is applied by subsidiary of Ginstar Corporation.

The QDID is 60912 / D023258

We welcome all Raytac’s customers to relabel the QDID as long as product built by MDBT40/MDBT40-P. As such, the Bluetooth process becomes simple and cost effective.
