Bluetooth bootloader application

[Marcin]

Hi, I would like to test my C code with bootloader over air by BLE. I am using nrf51822 with soft device 110. Does Nordic Company is sharing any application which can bootload any hex or bin file by bluetooth? I have no idea how can I test my code at nrf without any fully working application. Best regards, Marcin

Hi Marcin,

Have you heard of our nRF5 SDK ?

In the SDK you can find our bootloader which allow you do DFU via BLE.

I am using SDK 10 beacuse SDK 11 when I was starting work with NRF couldn`t work with eclipse. I will check the new SDK and I will post the answer if it helped.

What was the problem with SDK v11 and Eclipse ?

Sorry, but I dont remember now. When I will have free time I will check it and I will let you know. I think I had problem with make file. I have downloaded the new SDK and I cant see there any application which could download my hex to NRF by bluetooth. I would like to use some kind of tool like Flash Demonstrator at STM32. Could you help me somehow?

Hi Marcin, you can use NRFGo Studio or use KEIL directly to download your hex via SWD interface. Please follow this guide.

There is a command line tool called nrfjprog.exe can also do flashing. Please download nRFTool
