New version of MCUBoot bootloader : I need your help!
#10
@koemdjiev@gmail.com @VMMainFrame @wibble : Thank you very much for your success reports! It's really nice to see that it runs on other's setup too!

Yes, I've disabled this feature in the recovery firmware to make it even more simple.


Regarding BLE connection reliability : Indeed, sometimes, the connection fails, sometimes the OTA fails,... It's not easy to figure out what's failing in these cases : ble on the phone, ble on the Pinetime, RF interference,... We'll try to improve that in the future, but in the meantime, here are some workarounds:
  • Most of the time, resetting the watch and/or the phone and retrying works. To reboot the watch running InfiniTime, simply push the button for 5-10s, it'll reset and reboot.
  • Do not run NRFConnect and Gadgetbridge at the same time. If one of them auto-connects to the PineTime, the other one won't be able to connect. Also, I noticed that disabling the CTS (current time service) into NRFConnect improves the situation with Gadgetbridge, even if you're not using NRFConnect...
  • The proximity of other WIFI/BLE/USB-C(with low quality wires) devices might cause RF interferences and cause the transfer to fail.
  • [EDIT] When using Gadgetbridge, the OTA fails if you receive a notification (gadgetbridge will formward it to InfiniTime and it'll conflict with the OTA process). This is a known bug. As a workaround, you can disconnect from the internet to stop receiving notifications.
