Serial terminal for Firmware update

[Yashaswini S]

Hi,

I want to develop a Bootloader for the firmware update, I followed the dev academy course to do firmware update using mcumgr command line tool via uart.

Now I want to update the firmware using external terminal not by using the mcumgr commands beacause i am having only bin files with to update the firmware . 

I am using visual studio code for the development and also to check the ouput i am using visual studio terminal itself but i don't want use that, so can anyone suggest me how can i achieve this.

Thank you in advance.

Hi,

I think there are some misunderstandings here based on the motivation for why you want to develop your bootloader:

1) You can upload bin files with mcumgr as explained in the first exercise in the bootloader course academy.nordicsemi.com/.../

 

2) Are you sure you want to develop a bootloader? Do you perhaps mean that you want to use a bootloader to update your firmware?

Kind regards,
Andreas

I want to use a Bootloader to update firmware, but instead of mcumgr command line tool, have to other terminal to update firmware.

I have done using mcumgr commands. working fine, in that it has dependent on visual studio terminal to check the message but i supposed to not to use this for to check the messages.

Now have try with different terminal to update firmware.

Thanks

I would recommend that you go through these thoroughly and then make your request more concrete. As of now it is too vague.

Kind regards,
