I have tested the firmware update function via both BLE and USB (USB CDC ACM). However, I am experiencing the following issues:

And while you could move that USB support into MCUBOOT itself, it increases the bootloader size in flash by a lot. Not really recommended on the NRF52840.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;BLE needs to be in disconnected (advertising) state for bleak python BTLE lib to be able to connect. This limitation might be windows only - BTLE APIs&amp;nbsp; in Windows are dog ***. The smpmgr stuff uses bleak internally.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;It should establish BTLE secure connection as long as there is bonding information in windows OS available.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item></channel></rss>
