How to perform an OTA update on the nRF5340 using a PC

[mike_yang]

Hi,

Currently, I know that OTA updates for the nRF5340 can be performed using Device Manager and the nRF Connect mobile application. However, if using a PC, is it possible to achieve the same functionality via the command line?

Thanks!!

Mike

Hi Mike,

please try using the lower case address instead of using the the device name as filter and see if you get the same result.

Hi Mike,

The supported --constring arguments have always been the same as far as I can tell. Please post the command you used along with the error you got.

Hi Vidar,

I am able to successfully perform DFU using mcumgr on a Linux PC.
Thank you for your valuable suggestions

Best regards,
Mike
