&lt;p&gt;Yes, it should be possible to update an initial node A, and then have node A update another node B, which in turn updated node C etc. However, we do not have an example showing how to implement a DFU controller on a peripheral node as this is usually done by a central device like a smartphone. You will have to modify the bootloader to connect to another node after it has received its firmware and re-send the firmware to the other node. I suggest that you look into the Bootloader library documentation, found &lt;a href="https://infocenter.nordicsemi.com/topic/com.nordic.infocenter.sdk5.v12.2.0/lib_bootloader_modules.html?cp=4_0_1_3_5"&gt;here&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;You should not need to have external flash to hold the firmware, unless the application you want to update is very large.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;You can generate distribution packets using our nRF Utility Tool, nrfutil, which can be found &lt;a href="https://github.com/NordicSemiconductor/pc-nrfutil"&gt;here&lt;/a&gt; our GitHub page.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Best regards&lt;/p&gt;
