Part 2: Combining & merging built files

Step 1. Execute the combine batch file in bootloader (nrf52832_bootloader_setting_merge.bat) and generate file of nrf52832_bootloader_secure_combin_settings.hex :

@echo off
title = [ J-Link Tool ] %CD%
set nrfDir=C:\Program Files (x86)\Nordic Semiconductor\nrf5x\bin
set BS= nrf52832_bootloader_secure_settings.hex
set BL= nrf52832_xxaa_s132.hex
set BSBLCombind= nrf52832_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(nrf52832_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%

Optimizing functionality on nRF52 – Introducing Raytac bluetooth module with enabled Access Port Protection

2024 年 02 月 21 日2024 年 07 月 03 日由mandyraytaccom撰寫發表留言

Definition of Approtect (Access Port Protection):

In Nordic Semiconductor products, the enhanced APprotect feature has been integrated into the nRF52 series microcontrollers. APprotect (Access Port Protection) is a crucial security feature designed to safeguard the device’s application, compiled code, with read-back protection mechanism, against unauthorized access and modifications. This protection is essential for preventing unauthorized access and software tampering.

Effectively leveraging the improved Approtect feature on nRF52 series microcontrollers to enhance device application security and reliability is a significant concern for current developers and engineers.

This year, Raytac Corporation has launched low-energy Bluetooth modules for the third edition IC nRF52840 APprotection Solution and nRF52832 APprotection Solution.

These modules not only retain the functionalities of the original nRF52840 and nRF52832 low-energy Bluetooth modules but also comprehensively upgrade security by adding the APprotect feature to prevent hackers from accessing and rewriting programs without authorization.

Here is a detailed explanation of the nRF52 third edition low-energy Bluetooth modules by Raytac Corporation:

Raytac Corporation APProtection Bluetooth Module Series:

The encoding principle is to use ‘EN’ after the original model number to represent ‘encrypted’ instead of ‘V2’.

For example, in the nRF52840 series, the Raytac model MDBT50Q-1MV2 has “V2″ replaced with “EN" for the third edition, hence the third edition model is named MDBT50Q-1MEN.

MDBT50Q Ceramic Antenna Series:

MDBT50Q-1MEN :
Equipped with a ceramic antenna module suitable for long-distance or complex environment wireless transmission.

MDBT50Q-P PCB Antenna Series:

MDBT50Q-P1MEN:
Equipped with a PCB antenna module suitable for general environment wireless transmission.

Designed for external antenna requirements,

MDBT50Q-U1MEN:

This module features a u.FL connector for external antenna use, suitable for ultra-long-distance wireless transmission.

Specification：
[nRF52840] MDBT50Q-1MEN & MDBT50Q-P1MEN Spec (Ver.A)
[nRF52840] MDBT50Q-U1MEN Spec (Ver.A)

Development Board:

MDBT50Q-DB : An excellent choice for those who want to delve deeper into and conduct more tests with the Nordic nRF52840. This development and debugging board based on the MDBT50Q-1MV2 (ceramic antenna) module has all GPIOs of the module pulled out, facilitating rapid connection to other devices for firmware development and verification using jumper wires.

The same encoding principle applies to the nRF52832 series, and the MDBT42Q series follows suit.

MDBT42Q Ceramic Antenna Series:

MDBT42Q-512KEN comes with a ceramic antenna module, suitable for long-distance or complex environment wireless transmissions.

MDBT42Q-P PCB Antenna Series:

MDBT42Q-P512KEN features a PCB antenna module, suitable for general environment wireless transmissions.

MDBT42Q-U512KEN , designed for external antenna requirements, comes with a u.FL connector module suitable for ultra-long-distance wireless transmissions.

Specification：
[nRF52832] MDBT42Q-512KEN & MDBT42Q-P512KEN Spec (Ver.A)
[nRF52832] MDBT42Q-U512KEN Spec (Ver.A)

Development Board:

MDBT42Q-DB development board is based on the MDBT42Q-512KV2 (ceramic antenna) module and is designed for development and debugging purposes.

Other Reference Links:

Nordic 3rd Party Modules/Modems(Raytac’s modules are all qualified Nordic 3rd Party Bluetooth low energy module, please go following website for more detailed information.)

Module Appearance: The third edition features an additional black dot in the bottom left corner of the metal shell for easy identification of its purpose.
While the device with readback protection enabled, issuing ERASEALL command is a must and the only method to unlock the device before proceeding with programming.
It is recommended to use nRF_SDK v17.1.0 or later versions to write code for the third edition.

Wi-Fi Alliance (WFA) – Certification program –QuickTrack

2024 年 01 月 17 日2024 年 10 月 02 日由mandyraytaccom撰寫發表留言

Wi-Fi Alliance (WFA) – Certification program –QuickTrack

-Collaboration between Solution provider & End product developer

Source: https://www.wi-fi.org/certification

Raytac Corp. is officially a member of Wi-Fi Alliance now!

Before stepping into Wi-Fi module selection and adoption, Wi-Fi regulatory compliance will be essential for you to know.

Let’s dig into the Wi-Fi certification program and investigate the possibility of WFA Qualified Solution (provided by Solution Provider) & WFA certificate (obtained by end product developer).

What benefits you (end product developer) by working with Rayta Corp. (Solution Provider) for QuickTrack program?

Faster time-to-market : By using available WFA Qualified Solution (provided by solution provider) to waive (or partially waive) compliance test criteria/decrease testing days for end product (WiFi Device), shorter development days would be took before product launch.
Reduce test and certification costs: it significantly reduces the cost and certification days for your project with minimal resource by working with Raytac Corp. (Solution Provider) using available WFA Qualified Solution.
Avoid testing redundancies: Raytac Corp. (Solution Provider) has pre-certified the core Wi-Fi architecture and protocols in Nordic WiFi module AN7002Q, the necessary qualification tests has been conducted. You (end product developer) don’t need to test on those same criteria for end product (WiFi Device) if Raytac WiFi module is implemented in your end device.
Allow flexibility of Wi-Fi functionality change: In case those minor change of Wi-Fi feature which is not relates to core/essential/architecture change may be raised someday in the future , QuickTrack program delivers the qualified product base (Source product) and lower cost with conformance test (QuickTrackTool) responding to the minor change.

How QuickTrack certification program works?

QuickTrack certification program shall be completed by 2 different parties, one is solution provider and the other is end product developer.

(Refer to the following image)

As a Solution Provider, Raytac would proceed the essential and fundamental Wi-Fi protocol/compliance test and develop this into a Qualified solution so that end product developer can leverage this solution as a base (Source Product) to obtain a certificate entitled to end product developer.

Please note the conformance check (named QuickTrack Tool) would be required before Wi-Fi alliance certifies the application.

Conformance check (QuickTrack Tool) will be reviewed for the 8 Wi-Fi components.

Chipset
Wi-Fi Component Firmware Version
Driver
RF Architecture
Wi-Fi Component Operation System
Physical Interface
RF Components
Antenna

When you adopt Raytac WFA Qualified solution, the core/essential/architecture components are pre-certified in the solution, in most of cases, no further conformance test is required, you (end product developer) will be granted to obtain the certificate after a couple of days applying process.

Raytac leaves the right to Wi-Fi alliance for the conformance review (run QuickTrackTool).

Which membership level shall be applied in Wi-Fi alliance for being QuickTrack?

If you agree with QuickTrack program and are willing to participate in the partnership as end product developer with Raytac Corp. (solution provider), Implementer membership will be cost effective option for you.

Company like Raytac Corp. served as solution provider or require professional Wi-Fi alliance support, company own/multiple programs oriented or needs tasks management shall refer to the membership of top one – Contributor.

c. Locate all the necessary kits for programming in PC (Check Software/Application list)

3. To recognize your nRFConnect SDK version case by case

Intro: The preparation of nRF Connect SDK Vx.x.x(NCS SDK version, ) and Nordic Example code will help you get through the program code building and trace debug in VS Code IDE or Segger Embedded Studio IDE. Here’s the brief way to recognize your nRFConnect SDK version which suits your project development.

Step1.

Activated your “nRF Connect for Desktop” >> “Toolchain Manager” >> “Open” >> “Install”

(**Note: The development nRF Connect SDK(NCS) provides with free VS Code IDE and Segger Embedded Studio IDE as compiling system)

Step2.

To recognize your project is with or without Audio inquiry and download the “nRF Connect SDK(NCS)” by the following classification.

A.) Project with Non-Audio case

Option1. Go with NCS V1.9.1 (Included) and previous version.

There’re either “Open VS Code” or “Open Segger Embedded Studio” IDE options could be selected for program coding.

Option2. Go with NCS V2.0.0(included) and the later.

There’s simply “Open VS Code” IDE that could be run for program coding.

B.) Project with “Audio” inquiry

You would only have option of NCS V2.0.0(included) and the later version working in “Open VS Code” IDE.

Step3.

Please make sure the nRFConnect SDK is installed at same base directory with compiling system (the root of Open VS Code)

(This is using D:\ncs-work base as example.)

If the base is not directing to the same, do “Select directory’” to re-direct the route.

Step4.
