Zigbee FOTA with nrf52840 DK sample

[Nagajans]

I'm having 52840-DK boards 3 and installed vscode,nrfsdk v2.2.0 and v2.8.0. i want to explore how to use FOTA for zigbee. are there any sample available to make it work and explore.

Hi, 

Please use NCS v2.9.0 and install Zigbee R23 add-on. You can start from the Zigbee: Light switch, which supports Zigbee FOTA for nRF52840.

Can you please help me with procedure,how can we make the sample work for FOTA. i seen light_switch code alone has FOTA implementation. what about the server. which sample we can use as server,or we need to make any modifications? it will be great help,if you can give little more procedure of this. for example if i flash light_switch example in one nrf52840-dk board, what about other board.

Hi, 

How do you enable the Zigbee FOTA? Could you refer to the activating optional extensions section?

Thank you for the information. With this build configuration, I was able to successfully build the Zigbee client code without any errors. However, I’m unable to find the Zigbee server code for the nRF5 SDK. Could you please share the link to the server code if available?

Check out https://docs.nordicsemi.com/bundle/nrf5_sdk_thread_zigbee/page/zigbee_example_ota_server.html#zigbee_example_ota_server_setup

Initially, we would like to experiment using a PC tool as the Zigbee server. Is there any Zigbee PC tool available from Nordic for this purpose?

[Amanda Hsieh]

You can install nRF Util and refer to the DFU over Zigbee section for more information.

I’m trying to use the host tool for Zigbee DFU. If I flash the NCP sample on the nRF52840 Dongle and run the light switch application on the nRF52840 DK, how can I use nRF Util as the Zigbee host server to transmit a firmware binary from the PC (host tool) to the Zigbee client without storing the binary on the nRF52840 Dongle?

Check this post.

Here is the Zigbee: NCP sample for R23.

Is the NCP host supported only on 64-bit Ubuntu 24.04 Linux, or is there also a version available for Windows 11?
