Hi Sowmiya,

Thank you for the reply.
In order for the SUOTA mobile application to be able to scan your device, you will need to add the SUOTA service on the Advertising Data.
Please refer on the prox_reporter example, on user_config.h file, to see how to add the SUOTA service on the Advertising Data.
After that you will be able to find your device via the SUOTA mobile application.

Hi , 

Thanks for the quick reply,

I can able to scan the devcie in my android phone and selected the file from SUOTA application its shwoing the product header error .

for DA14531 , i have changed the product header to 0x1f000 

// product header flags
#define PRODUCT_HEADER_POSITION 0x1F000 //0x38000

THANKS,

Hi Sowmiya,

Thank you for the reply.
Are you using DA14531 SoC or the DA14531MOD?
If you are using the DA14531 SoC, there will be no need to change the PRODUCT_HEADER_POSITION.
If you are using the DA14531MOD please refer on the required changes here: 27. SUOTA Memory Size Modifications — DA145XX Tutorial SDK Getting started (renesas.com)

If you are using DA14531 SoC, make sure you have a supported SPI Flash on your design.

Yes, i have changed the  PRODUCT_HEADER_POSITION in proxr_reporter - > app_suotar.h

Ota is working without error.

and my question, i am working on our custom device DA14531 .and for my application i am using SPI flash to store some configuration values for using in my application and to rechange the configuration stroing it in Spi flash .

from the document base DA14531  using in the example code  : i am making the multiple image address 

LOCATION OF 1st IMAGE : 0x04000

LOCATION OF 2nd IMAGE : 0x10000

LOCATION OF PRODUCT HEADER : 0x1F000

TOTAL MEMORY SIZE : 0x020000

So , i wanted to do OTA for my application and i am using spi flash  as mentioned below,

uint32_t PC_FLASH_ADR = 0x1f000;

how can i manage the memory address  ?

Thanks ,

Sowmiya

Hi Sowmiya,

Do you mean you want save your user-data to 0x1f000? this is conflict with PRODUCT HEADER. 

1, get the current code size from .hex file (I use 2M flash as an example).

At addr 0x00004000, sort out the code size from the table. 

2, You need to evaluating the single image size and reserve enough size for the future OTA codes.

3, Enter the 2nd image offset in the tool-box:

4, then you have your free space for params. like this

Thanks

I have make the partitions of address as below

Multi image header:

single Image Header : IMAGE 1

Single Image Header : IMAGE 2

My params 

Product Header

Multi t5_f1 - t6_f2.rar

As shown in image i have set address to create a multi image file. and this address wil be fine ? i have attached my image file. and my multi image file size as 125kb and FLASH mem i am using 32 bytes

Then if i am updating the image from SUOTA app how it run ? like while updating it will change the image by the next time ?

Thanks ,

Sowmiya

Hi Sowmiya,

Let me load your hex, and have a test, As expected it will not change the param.

Thanks

Hi ,

 thank you for the quick reply  please load it and test and if i need to change to change the param bytes 64 bytes in future can i make it address before +32 address range from to 0x0001EFF8  .

is this will affect my future OTA image file if size if increased ?

Thanks ,

Sowmiya
