I believe I have fixed the Catalina hang. You can try out the fix at https://github.com/apache/mynewt-newtmgr/pull/164, or you can wait for it to be merged.

Can we fix that? It looks like we forgot to upload deb packages for 1.8.0. I will try to get to this soon. > On Ubuntu Linux, under version 1.7.0, with Nordic-pca10040, the IRS works > fine.

The problem occurred when the device performed a slow flash operation (usually an erase). Since the code is executing from flash, flash operations cause the MCU to momentarily stall. If the stall takes too long or occurs at the wrong time, the BLE controller misses too many consecutive transmissions and the connection terminates. I would expect this to happen on the first upload request though, not the last one. The device erases the image slot when it receives the first request and this erase can be quite slow. I don't see anything special in the code that happens while processing the final upload request, so I'm afraid I'm at a loss here. > I was trying to get rid of it by upgrading to a newer version.

I don't think upgrading will solve this problem (of course I could be wrong). Do you want to upgrade the firmware (Mynewt itself) or the tools (newt and newtmgr)? If you want to upgrade Mynewt, running `newt upgrade` from your project directory should do that. > Many thanks!
