How to do DFU using other Ble dongles ?

[mukesh]

We are using the NRF51822qfaag0 ic and softdevice 7.3 with sdk 6 . We are able to do dfu using the android device with nrftool box apk. But we have to do dfu from windows pc or laptop via the bluetooth. I know we can use master control panel for it. But master control panel requires the nrf dongle pca10000. Is there is any way to do dfu using other ble dongles?

I am afraid that we do not provide any software for performing DFU with non-Nordic hardware.

If you want to use a non-nordic dongle, then you'll have to implement the DFU image transfer procedure, see this page, using the driver of the said dongle.

Thank you for the reply. Is that the above specified procedure is same for sdk6 ?

There has been some changes from SDK v6.0.0 to v11.0.0, so I guess its safer to use the SDK v6.0 documentation instead, please see this page.
