nRF9160 reboot during FOTA image download without any crash information

Hi,

I'm implementing a FOTA update procedure for the nRF9160 using the download_client from the nRF Connect SDK 1.9.1 and modem firmware 1.3.1.

In general the image update works without any issues but in about one out of five attempts the nRF9160 reboots during the process. In this case I do not see the usual crash dump written to the console. It looks like this:

[00:01:40.844,146] <inf> download_client: Downloaded 38912/280664 bytes (13%)
[00:01:41.934,875] <inf> download_client: Downloaded 40960/280664 bytes (14%)
[00:01:42.923,980] <inf> download_client: Downloaded 43008/280664 bytes (15%)
[00:01:44.123,016] <inf> download_client: Downloaded 45056/280664 bytes (16%)
[00:01:45.847,869] <inf> download_client: Downloaded 47104/280664 bytes (16%)

I see this behaviour on nRF9160 Revision 1 and 2.

I had an Ozone debugger connected with all Vector Catches enabled in the Break&Tracepoints view during the reboot and Ozone did not catch it.

It looks like somehow the fault handler is not called. I also do not see any calls to sys_reboot() in the call path.

Any idea how to analyse this?

Thanks

Andre
