Hello,

Sorry we don't have support for OTA DFU with single app partition under nRF connect SDK. There are some serial recovery samples but not via BLE. I think it was supported in our old SDK (which I am not that familiar with). One of my colleague have explained this in an another ticket, Please refer the details.

Kind Regards,

Abhijith

Hello,

[quote user="qnchen"]So I can only update the app by OTA in the mcuboot. but the ncs 2.3.0 mcuboot without BT support.[/quote]

I didn't get you . Are you asking whether NCS2.3.0 have OTA DFU support (via BLE)? If so yes, it' support.

Otherwise could you brief a little more on this?

Kind Regards,

Hello,

First thanks for your reply. If my system have 2 app partition, there is no problem to add as the guide, but now my system don't have enough space to create 2 app partitions, so the system has only one mcuboot and one app, So I can only update the app by OTA in the mcuboot. but the ncs 2.3.0 mcuboot without BT support.

Hello,

You can refer to DFU over Bluetooth section under this blog. How OTA DFU support can be added to your application is explained there.
