About nRF Device Firmware Update

The nRF5x Series chips are flash-based SoCs, and as such they represent the most flexible solution available. A key feature of the nRF5x Series and their associated software architecture and S-Series SoftDevices is the possibility for Over-The-Air Device Firmware Upgrade (OTA-DFU) over Bluetooth LE.

The DFU application allows to update nRF5 devices using Secure or Legacy DFU bootloader from nRF5 SDK version 4.3 or newer.
The firmware should be in .zip file format, prepared using "nrf util" (https://github.com/NordicSemiconductor/pc-nrfutil).

Unreliable

I have only successfully used this once, every other time I have gone to update one of my Meshtastic nodes it fails and locks it out. You then have to plug the node into your computer to update it that way. This becomes a problem when you have a solar node on your roof…

Totally useless with new update

This app used to scan for the Nordic DFU Service, which made it user friendly and very helpful. Now it shows all BLE devices and is completely useless.
