How to do DFU from windows PC

[mukesh]

I want to upload firmware from my desktop computer using some dongle. Is there any windows compatible nrftoolbox software? I am using the nrf51822 qfaag0 chip with softdevice v7.3 and sdk6.

Nordic provides only software for nRF chips and smartphones ;)

If you want to use the Master Control Panel application on your PC, you will need to use the PCA10031 nRF Dongle and its firmware to perform a DFU. It is not possible to use any other generic HCI dongle or the native BLE driver of your OS - The DFU service implementation is proprietary Device Firmware Update Service made by Nordic. This is not an adopted profile defined by the Bluetooth SIG.
