Implementation of the Nordic nRF DFU protocol

nrf-dfu-target

An implementation of the Nordic nRF DFU protocol in Rust that can be used in a no_std environment. It is based on the nRF SDK 17 DFU protocol, but is compatible with older versions as well.

The intention is that any transport (BLE, UART, USB) can use this crate for decoding the request, processing the request and encoding the response for the protocol.

You can use any flash device that implements the embedded-storage traits as the target.

It does not support updating more than one firmware type for each DfuTarget instance at the moment.

Example

For an example usage based on BLE, see the pinetime-embassy firmware which provides the GATT services and event dispatching.

nrf-dfu's Issues

Where is the documentation?

Hi, Unfortunately DFU processing is somehow complicated and without documentation it's getting harder. I need firmware updates for my nrf52832 but it's lack of good example or documentation.

DFU issues when Packet Receipt Notification (PRN) procedure is enabled

There seem to be some edge cases when handling DFU protocol, so let's write the things down:

Firstly, two sets of logs with "previous" code based on watchful where NrfDfuServiceEvent::PacketWrite is using packet_notify instead of notify_control.

1. Working case (PRN disabled) and using packet_notify:

REQUEST Select { obj_type: Command }
RESPONSE DfuResponse { request: Select { obj_type: Command }, result: Success, body: Some(Select { offset: 0, crc: 0, max_size: 512 }) }
REQUEST SetReceiptNotification { target: 0 }
RESPONSE DfuResponse { request: SetReceiptNotification { target: 0 }, result: Success, body: None }
REQUEST Create { obj_type: Command, obj_size: 79 }
RESPONSE DfuResponse { request: Create { obj_type: Command, obj_size: 79 }, result: Success, body: None }
REQUEST Write { data: [..] }
RESPONSE DfuResponse { request: Write { data: [..] }, result: Success, body: Some(Crc { offset: 79, crc: 2913568115 }) }
REQUEST Crc
RESPONSE DfuResponse { request: Crc, result: Success, body: Some(Crc { offset: 79, crc: 2913568115 }) }
REQUEST Execute
RESPONSE DfuResponse { request: Execute, result: Success, body: None }
REQUEST Select { obj_type: Data }
RESPONSE DfuResponse { request: Select { obj_type: Data }, result: Success, body: Some(Select { offset: 0, crc: 0, max_size: 335872 }) }
REQUEST Create { obj_type: Data, obj_size: 61052 }
RESPONSE DfuResponse { request: Create { obj_type: Data, obj_size: 61052 }, result: Success, body: None }
REQUEST Write { data: [..] }
RESPONSE DfuResponse { request: Write { data: [..] }, result: Success, body: Some(Crc { offset: 120, crc: 1031809356 }) }
REQUEST Write { data: [..] }
RESPONSE DfuResponse { request: Write { data: [..] }, result: Success, body: Some(Crc { offset: 240, crc: 4174146515 }) }

2. Non-working case, where connection hangs after fifth packet (PRN is configured to 5 in NRF-Connect):

REQUEST Select { obj_type: Command }
RESPONSE DfuResponse { request: Select { obj_type: Command }, result: Success, body: Some(Select { offset: 0, crc: 0, max_size: 512 }) }
REQUEST SetReceiptNotification { target: 0 }
RESPONSE DfuResponse { request: SetReceiptNotification { target: 0 }, result: Success, body: None }
REQUEST Create { obj_type: Command, obj_size: 79 }
RESPONSE DfuResponse { request: Create { obj_type: Command, obj_size: 79 }, result: Success, body: None }
REQUEST Write { data: [..] }
RESPONSE DfuResponse { request: Write { data: [..] }, result: Success, body: Some(Crc { offset: 79, crc: 2913568115 }) }
REQUEST Crc
RESPONSE DfuResponse { request: Crc, result: Success, body: Some(Crc { offset: 79, crc: 2913568115 }) }
REQUEST Execute
RESPONSE DfuResponse { request: Execute, result: Success, body: None }
REQUEST SetReceiptNotification { target: 5 }
RESPONSE DfuResponse { request: SetReceiptNotification { target: 5 }, result: Success, body: None }
REQUEST Select { obj_type: Data }
RESPONSE DfuResponse { request: Select { obj_type: Data }, result: Success, body: Some(Select { offset: 0, crc: 0, max_size: 335872 }) }
REQUEST Create { obj_type: Data, obj_size: 61052 }
RESPONSE DfuResponse { request: Create { obj_type: Data, obj_size: 61052 }, result: Success, body: None }
REQUEST Write { data: [..] }
RESPONSE DfuResponse { request: Write { data: [..] }, result: Success, body: None }
REQUEST Write { data: [..] }
RESPONSE DfuResponse { request: Write { data: [..] }, result: Success, body: None }
REQUEST Write { data: [..] }
RESPONSE DfuResponse { request: Write { data: [..] }, result: Success, body: None }
REQUEST Write { data: [..] }
RESPONSE DfuResponse { request: Write { data: [..] }, result: Success, body: None }
REQUEST Write { data: [..] }
RESPONSE DfuResponse { request: Write { data: [..] }, result: Success, body: Some(Crc { offset: 600, crc: 2318566729 }) }
