Updating the Central SMP client example for full DFU support in NCS version 2.6.0 and later

[Jonathan E]

Hi!

I have tried to implement the following example for NCS 2.6.0 on nrf52840DK:

https://github.com/hellesvik-nordic/samples_for_nrf_connect_sdk/tree/main/bootloader_samples/client_smp/smp_client_ble#preparations

However, there are many issues, especially with Zcbor when using newer NCS versions.

I have also tried to implement the updates from this official example, and the echo command works, but it is still challenging to make the other functionality work to actually make it usable.

https://docs.nordicsemi.com/bundle/ncs-latest/page/nrf/samples/bluetooth/central_smp_client/README.html

Could someone in Nordic take the time to create or update a similar example for full DFU support with central SMP client sample? I am guessing many people need this functionality. Even though I use NCS 2.6.0, upgrading and adapting to the latest NCS is probably the best choice.

Hi,

If I were to create this sample now, I would use the SMP CLient library instead of using ZCBOR directly.

I have forwarded your request to our DFU team, but I can not promise anything on when it will be done.

If I by chance got time to spare in the near future, I can maybe try to make such a sample myself, but that is a long-shot.
