Some extra info:

if you go to production, you should change at least MCUboot key, Device name, VID and PID for your final product based on nRF Desktop (mouse/keyboard)

Then you can get an account at https://fwupd.org/: from here you can manage the FW updates to your products (based on VID/PID/product name, etc).

We can list your VID/PID here (https://github.com/fwupd/fwupd/blob/main/plugins/nordic-hid/nordic-hid.quirk) so that you can re-use Nordic fwupd plug-in.

Thank you very much for your answer. Which example of nrf connect sdk did you burn? Are there any special configurations? Or maybe there's something wrong with my linux command

Hi,

I try to run the nRF Desktop app out of the box on my ubuntu machine.

I have fwupd installed via snap, and I changed nothing.

Then I run the following commands with the following outputs.

Do you see the same?

sihe@sihe-desktop:~$ fwupdmgr get-plugins | grep nordic -A10
nordic_hid:
  Flags:                • Enabled

sihe@sihe-desktop:~$ fwupdmgr get-devices | grep -i nordic -A10

Thank you for your answer. Of course, I have tried to use ncs 2.6.0 hid mouse demo, prj.conf configuration is as follows, I test using the development kit key can control the mouse pointer, but it is still not recognized on fedora system (use fwupdmgr get-devices command), And I noticed that the plugin configuration on github uses the hidraw protocol. I don't know if I need to support this protocol in order to recognize it, even when I use the official firmware of lvfs (burned with nrfjprog and nRF Connect for Desktop Programmer application), I can't recognize it. I wonder how nordic officially tested the fwpud upgrade on linux?

Hi,

Have you tried this feature in the nRF Desktop sample?

Is your device a HID device already, or are you trying to make it a HID device?
