.. zephyr:code-sample:: usb-dfu :name: USB DFU (Device Firmware Upgrade) :relevant-api: usbd_api _usb_device_core_api Implement device firmware upgrade using the USB DFU class driver. Overview ******** This sample app demonstrates use of a USB DFU Class driver provided by the Zephyr project. Requirements ************ This project requires an USB device driver. Currently, the USB DFU class provided by the Zephyr project depends on DFU image manager and partition layout. Refer to :ref:`flash_map_api` for details about partition layout. You SoC must run MCUboot as the stage 1 bootloader. This sample is built as an application for the MCUboot bootloader. .. note:: This example explicitly turns :kconfig:option:`CONFIG_USB_DFU_ENABLE_UPLOAD` on. Building and Testing ******************** Building and signing the application ==================================== This sample can be built in the usual way (see :ref:`build_an_application` for more details) and flashed with regular flash tools, but will need to be loaded at the offset of SLOT-0. Application images (such as this sample) must be signed. The build system can do this for you by setting the :kconfig:option:`CONFIG_MCUBOOT_SIGNATURE_KEY_FILE` symbol. For example: .. code-block:: console west build -b nrf52840dk_nrf52840 zephyr/samples/subsys/usb/dfu -d build-dfu -- \ -DCONFIG_MCUBOOT_SIGNATURE_KEY_FILE=\"bootloader/mcuboot/root-rsa-2048.pem\" Build and flash MCUboot bootloader for Zephyr project as it is described in the `Using MCUboot with Zephyr`_ documentation. Then build, sign and flash the USB DFU sample at the offset of SLOT-0. Build and sign a second application image e.g. :ref:`hello_world`, which will be used as an image for the update. Do not forget to enable the required :kconfig:option:`CONFIG_BOOTLOADER_MCUBOOT` option (as described in :ref:`mcuboot`). For example: .. code-block:: console west build -b nrf52840dk_nrf52840 zephyr/samples/hello_world -d build-hello_world -- \ -DCONFIG_BOOTLOADER_MCUBOOT=y '-DCONFIG_MCUBOOT_SIGNATURE_KEY_FILE="bootloader/mcuboot/root-rsa-2048.pem"' Testing ======= The Linux ``dfu-util`` tool can be used to backup or update the application image. Use the following command to backup the SLOT-0 image: .. code-block:: console dfu-util --alt 0 --upload slot0_backup.bin Use the following command to update the application: .. code-block:: console dfu-util --alt 1 --download build-hello_world/zephyr/zephyr.signed.bin Reset the SoC. MCUboot boot will swap the images and boot the new application, showing this output to the console: .. code-block:: console *** Booting Zephyr OS build zephyr-v3.0.0-360-gc0dd594d4d3d *** I: Starting bootloader I: Primary image: magic=good, swap_type=0x3, copy_done=0x1, image_ok=0x1 I: Secondary image: magic=good, swap_type=0x2, copy_done=0x3, image_ok=0x3 I: Boot source: none I: Swap type: test I: Bootloader chainload address offset: 0xc000 I: Jumping to the first image slot *** Booting Zephyr OS build zephyr-v3.0.0-361-gb987e6daa2f9 *** Hello World! nrf52840dk_nrf52840 Reset the SoC again and MCUboot should revert the images and boot USB DFU sample, showing this output to the console: .. code-block:: console *** Booting Zephyr OS build zephyr-v3.0.0-360-gc0dd594d4d3d *** I: Starting bootloader I: Primary image: magic=good, swap_type=0x2, copy_done=0x1, image_ok=0x3 I: Secondary image: magic=unset, swap_type=0x1, copy_done=0x3, image_ok=0x3 I: Boot source: none I: Swap type: revert I: Secondary image: magic=unset, swap_type=0x1, copy_done=0x3, image_ok=0x3 I: Bootloader chainload address offset: 0xc000 I: Jumping to the first image slot *** Booting Zephyr OS build zephyr-v3.0.0-361-gb987e6daa2f9 *** [00:00:00.005,920] main: This device supports USB DFU class. Permanent download and automatic reboot ======================================= There are some symbols that can be used to enable a hands free download: To mark SLOT-1 as permanent after the download completes, enable the :kconfig:option:`CONFIG_USB_DFU_PERMANENT_DOWNLOAD` symbol. To automatically reboot after the download completes, enable the :kconfig:option:`CONFIG_USB_DFU_REBOOT` symbol. .. warning:: Enabling :kconfig:option:`CONFIG_USB_DFU_PERMANENT_DOWNLOAD` can lead to a bricked device! Make sure there is another way to download firmware. For example via a debugger or Mcuboot's recovery mode. Both symbols can be enabled with the :file:`overlay-permanent-download.conf` overlay. For example: .. code-block:: console west build -b nrf52840dk_nrf52840 zephyr/samples/subsys/usb/dfu -d build-dfu -- \ -DCONFIG_BOOTLOADER_MCUBOOT=y '-DCONFIG_MCUBOOT_SIGNATURE_KEY_FILE="bootloader/mcuboot/root-rsa-2048.pem"' \ -DEXTRA_CONF_FILE=overlay-permanent-download.conf The listing below shows the output to the console when downloading via dfu-util.
