In case anyone finds it useful the modified fishsoupisgood source code is available here: gitlab.com/.../nrfdfu_ng

What license is the code under?

I would assume that it would probably be GPL-2 or later as that seems to be what the gatttool code is released under:
http://metadata.ftp-master.debian.org/changelogs/main/b/bluez/bluez_5.49-1_copyright

I'm asking as I'm updating the code to support the newer Secure DFU protocol, and I would like to include the proper licensing information in the repository.

Kind regards Visti Andresen

I also encountered this problem and wrote a linux program that uploads a zip package to the nordic bootloader (tested against fedora 22, and sdk-9.0.0)

my code's here git.panaceas.org/.../

It currently only supports uploading applications and bootloaders, not softdevices or a combination of parts.

(It's vile code I just lifted a chunk of the source of bluez's gattool)

I also had a need for uploading hex files using DFU in linux. I have put out my python scripts that uploads a hex file using gatttool. bitbucket.org/.../src.

Thanx for that very useful hint. That really saves me some research effort about this topic.

No, there are no such application currently available, and if you need this, it is something you'll have to make yourself. It is yet not possible to implement a custom GATT Client over BlueZ's D-Bus interface, so this would most likely have to be done by making a C-application, similar to gatttool, which is part of upstream BlueZ.
