SDK12 ble_app_buttonless_dfu

[Sergy]

Hi,

Im tryin to use the ble_dfu service example from SDK12, I get DFU SERVICE NOT FOUND when trying to update from Android. Any suggestions what to look for?

I use S132v3, bootloader is flashed and I performed successful upload of the application via BLE when there was no app loaded.

I added the "char_md.char_props.write = 1;" change. I still receive the following error from nrfutil:

I logged the first three bytes of data received in on_ctrlpt_write(). nrfutil is sending 0x06 0x01 0x90. The nRF is sending 0x20 for the first byte of its response, but nrfutil is expecting 0x60.

I could change DFU_OP_RESPONSE_CODE in ble_dfu.h to 0x60, but I'm not sure that's heading in the right direction. Shouldn't nrfutil be sending a 0x01 for the first byte of its command in order to jump to the bootloader? How does nrfutil know whether the nRF is in the application or the bootloader (and hence, whether to send the jump to boot command)?
