發表於 由撰寫發表留言

Following up – Part 1: Bootloader & Application (Click for article link),

We will be focusing on:

Part 2: Combining & merging built files

in this article.

IC: nRF52832
DK: PCA10040 (for nRF52832)
SDK: 16.0.0
Softdevice: s132_nrf52_7.0.1_softdevice.hex
IDE: Keil C
PC: Win 10


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%
set nrfDir=C:UsersuserDesktopNordic BLEnRF5_merge toolsnRF52 bin
set SD= s140_nrf52_7.2.0_softdevice.hex
set BLT= nrf52832_bootloader_secure_combin_settings.hex
set APP= nrf52832_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 nrf52832_xxaa.zip
※Note : This zip file is created for end device DFU(OTA) implementation.

nrfutil pkg generate –hw-version 52 –sd-req 0xCB –application-version 0xFF –application
nrf52832_xxaa.hex –key-file private.pem nrf52832_xxaa.zip

The DFU OTA zip file will be derived.

※Note :
The “0xCB" 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: nrf52832_xxaa.zip. (Download link)


4B. Send nrf52832_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 nRF52832 solution modules: Guide to create hex/zip file for implementation – Part 1(Bootloader & Application)

發表於 由撰寫發表留言

Here are the guidelines for users to implement Secure DFU OTA(over-the-air) while using nRF52832 Solution modules. (Click on link for Raytac nRF52832 module series)

IC: nRF52832
DK: PCA10040 (for nRF52832)
SDK: 16.0.0
Softdevice: s132_nrf52_7.0.1_softdevice.hex
IDE: Keil C
PC: Win 10

Below are the guidelines to implement Secure DFU OTA by using Raytac’s nRF52832 modules, SDK16.0.0.
It consists of 2 parts:

Part 1: Bootloader & Application


Part 2: Combining and merging built files (Article link)

In this article, we will be focusing on Part 1: Bootloader & Application.

Bootloader


Path: ..\nRF5_SDK_16.0.0_98a08e2\examples\dfu\secure_bootloader\pca10040_s132_ble\arm5_no_packs
Specifically for nRF52832, programmers need to embed ECC(Elliptic Curve Cryptography) into the bootloader.


Step 1. ’micro_ecc_lib_nrf52.lib’ library can be found in the path below, but we need to boot it up first.


Step 2. Unzip ’micro-ecc-master.zip’ to the below path(create a new “micro-ecc” file first).


Step 3. Run ’gcc-arm-none-eabi-7-2018-q2-update-win32.exe’.


Step 4. Make sure the Environment variables in Win10 are set as below. (Follow the steps 1 to 6)


Step 5. Open DOS → run the “make” command under armgcc path → generate’micro_ecc_lib_nrf52.lib’


Step 6. Add ’micro_ecc_lib_nrf52.lib’ into folder: nRF_micro-ecc


Step 7. An error may occur while building bootloader without a public key:
(Shown in red frames in below screenshot)


Step 8. How to generate the public key file in Bootloader?
A. Visit DOS at path: ..\Python27\Scripts
B. Then execute:

nrfutil keys generate private.pem
nrfutil keys display --key pk --format code private.pem --out_file public_key.c


Step 9. Copy the pk[64] code from (public_key.c) into (dfu_public_key.c)
(Shown in red frames in below screenshot)

※Note: Make sure to save the 3 generated files:
private.pem
public_key.c
dfu_public_key.c


Step 10. Generate the bootloader file: nrf52832_xxaa_s132.hex after re-compiling the code files.

Application


Path:
..\nRF5_SDK_16.0.0_98a08e2\examples\ble_peripheral\ble_app_uart\pca10040\s132\arm5_no_packs
Before building Application code , some amendments need to be made regarding DFU-related settings and code inside Application:


Step 1. 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)


Step 2. Add the 3 paths shown below in C/C++ to make DFU work.


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


Step 4. 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)


Step 5.
The code of file: sdk_config.h (..\examples\ble_peripheral\ble_app_uart\pca10040\s132\config\sdk_config.h)
inside Application needs to be modified.


Step 6. Adjust the IRAM1 value in Target after implementing DFU service:
Make sure the IRAM1 Value of *p_app_ram_start is modified from default: 0x20002AD8 0xD528 to
0x20002AE8 0xD518, as shown in the red frame in the bottom right corner.
In this case, the program should run/advertise successfully.


Step 7. Create a file of: nrf52832_xxaa.hex after building application code files.



Step 8. Create a bootloader setting file of nrf52832_bootloader_secure_settings.hex via DOS.
nrfutil settings generate –family NRF52 –application nrf52832_xxaa.hex –application-version 3 —
bootloader-version 2 –bl-settings-version 1 nrf52832_bootloader_secure_settings.hex –no-backup

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

發表於 由撰寫發表留言

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.

  • 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.

SRRC Certification Update – Document No. 129

發表於 由撰寫發表留言

About SRRC Certification:

SRRC, or the State Radio Regulation Committee, is a mandatory certification required by the National Radio Management Committee of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology of China. All wireless products sold within China must obtain certification, commonly referred to as SRRC certification, which involves approval of the wireless transmission equipment model.

SRRC Document No. 129:

Document No. 129 introduces various interference avoidance technical requirements for wireless transmission equipment, including “pre-transmission scanning," “monitoring and avoidance," and “Medium Utilization (MU)" for equivalent occupancy rate.

a. “Pre-transmission scanning" and “monitoring and avoidance" mechanisms involve monitoring and listening to the wireless channel before or during signal transmission. By setting appropriate detection threshold levels, the channel’s occupancy status is determined to select an idle channel for access.

b. The “equivalent occupancy rate" mechanism requires wireless transmission equipment to self-adjust based on parameters such as “Duty Cycle" and “transmission power," ensuring the “equivalent occupancy rate" remains at a lower level (not exceeding 10%).



1.     Certificate Validity Period:
Enforced from October 15, 2023. During this period, both old and new policies can be applied. Certificates obtained under the old regulation (Document No. 353) are valid until December 31, 2025. However, certificates obtained by complying with the requirements of Document No. 129 will be valid for 5 years.



2.     Sample Requirements:
2.1   The quantity of conducted samples prepared according to the old regulation remains unchanged: 5 samples.
2.2   The major change introduced by Document No. 129 is the addition of interference avoidance technical requirements. The interference avoidance test items include:
1.     Maximum channel occupancy time
2.     Minimum channel idle time
3.     Minimum silence period duration
4.     Detection of unused signals
5.     Detection threshold
6.     Short control signal duty cycle
7.     Equivalent occupancy rate.



Differences between Old and New Regulations:
