DFU Peripheral to Central?

[Arepa]

Hi all

Is possible have DFU in the peripheral side to update a Central app program? Is there example doing it?

I have a Peripheral (custom board nRF52 dongle) connected to a PC, and I want to update the application program in the Central side (remote battery powered) using DFU.

Is possible to do a DFU Periphera-to-Central role instead of Central-to-Peripheral?

Thanks

It could consume more power with your setup. Also as for now we only support peripheral to connect to one central at a time, so if there are a central scanning when your peripheral already connect to another central then it won't be able to connect. The central, on the other hand, can connect to several (8) peripherals at a time.

I would suggest you to switch the central and peripheral role. This way you can also keep the role when you do DFU.

Hi Hung,

Thanks for the suggestion I am going to switch the roles for testing the current consumption :)
