DFU update fails with Espruino firmware

Hi!
I installed the Espruino firmware to my RuuviTag for some quick testing and after I was done I wanted to update the my firmware back to the latest Ruuvi firmware. I followed the instructions (RuuviLab | Firmware Update) and did as instructed. My tag was seen with the name “DfuTarg” as I started the DFU-update process with NRF-connect and as soon as it started I got a disconnected notification and the DFU-update stopped at 0 %. I tried it a few times again and also with different phones and the result was the same. Does Espruino firmware prevent the DFU-update or am I just doing something wrong here?

Hello,

It sounds like your bootloader would have changed at some point, the bootloader should be “RuuviBoot” instead of “DfuTarg”. Which Espruino firmware you installed?

nRF5_SDK_12.3.0_d7731ad/components/libraries/bootloader/ble_dfu/nrf_ble_dfu.c includes
#define DEVICE_NAME “DfuTarg”

Yes, but RuuviTags ship with customized bootloader

@otso Exactly.
I mentioned this because I (unintentionally ) ended up with that boot loader once upon a time.
Did Joonas install of Espruino firmware end up with Nordics boot loader?
@joonas95 You may need to get the Ruuvi and Nordic Development boards

Hi all and sorry for answering so late. I used Espruino 2.04. I also agree that the bootloader might be the cause of my issues like you guys said in previous comments. I have the dev shield available. How can I set my bootloader back to the official Ruuvi bootloader since the DFU-packages don’t seem to work? Using nrfjprog -tool perhaps?

Download factory hex and run

nrfjprog --eraseall
nrfjrpog --program ruuvi_firmware_full_2.5.9.hex
nrfjprog --reset

Be sure to power cycle the tag after programming to ensure that the debug section of MCU will get turned off, otherwise you’ll drain your battery in a few weeks. Removing and reinserting the battery after a few seconds does the trick.

@otso That worked perfectly. Thank you!
