did the programmer specify which region is out of the flash. It is probably due to the ucir register for mbr/bootloader at 0x10001014. And it should be safe to program
- file: 'feather_nrf52840_express_bootloader-0.7.0-8-gb55f516-dirty_s140_6.1.1.hex'
entry: 0xF000C4E1
data:
- { first: 0x00000000, last: 0x00000AFF, length: 0x00000B00 }
- { first: 0x00001000, last: 0x00025DE7, length: 0x00024DE8 }
- { first: 0x000F4000, last: 0x000FD333, length: 0x00009334 }
- { first: 0x000FD800, last: 0x000FD857, length: 0x00000058 }
- { first: 0x10001014, last: 0x1000101B, length: 0x00000008 }
after flashing the device stays in DFU-Mode without running the application.....FTHR840BOOT
@hathach This is still true. The Bootloader address starts at: 0xf4000 where the size of the compiled image is:
LD particle_xenon_bootloader-0.7.0-19-g80c3a84.out
text data bss dec hex filename
32592 1744 22558 56894 de3e _build/build-particle_xenon/particle_xenon_bootloader-0.7.0-19-g80c3a84.out
I'm getting this too.
Not sure if related/important nRF Programmer identifies the resulting region as an "Application" region when it's named a Bootloader region in the hex.
it is not clear too me which part of the memory is out of region and what issue it caused
@hathach add 0xf4000 + 0xde3e, and you are reaching a new memory region. As far as I remember, there is a limit of how big the bootloader can take in nrf52.
My suggestion is to put in Makefile some kind of protection, which should block build if this is overwriting code memory. I took me 2 weeks to find this issue.
the limit is in the linker file, please elaborate why it is out of region.
Here is a memory layout https://infocenter.nordicsemi.com/index.jsp?topic=%2Fsdk_nrf5_v16.0.0%2Flib_bootloader.html I think current linker layout do not fit documentation.
@hathach any updates here?
Bootloader should be in range of: 0x000F 8000 - 0x000F E000 (24 kB)

That is not this bootloader project

this bootloader is 38KB in size. There is no point to keep this open

What happened ?
I downloaded pca10056_bootloader-0.7.0_s140_6.1.1.hex from the 0.7.0 release, and used Programmer v3.0.3 from nRF Connect to flash an nRF52840-DK.
The programmer showed the following warning (see screenshot)
The device seems to be working fine-ish after the flash. At least for a couple of days I was able to flash Arduino sketches using the Arduino IDE via the adafruit package.
How to reproduce ?
