Latest status of Buttonless secure DFU in SDK 13.0

[sam wagner]

Hi,

I just got the email about SDK13.0 official release. The list of changes in this release include "Secure DFU improvements". What does it mean? Is Buttonless Secure DFU completely supported in this release?

Regards, Sam

Hi Sam,

Compare to SDK v13 alpha, the buttonless example in the SDK v13 official doesn't change much.

• It is still in experimental mode

• Some issues on SDK v12 and 13 alpha were fixed such as the characteristic's write property missing, the bootloader_setting section missing were fixed.

• Now we use RAM retention register GPREGRET to set the flag to enter bootloader mode instead of writing to flash.

• Change the service's UUID to the Secure-DFU UUID

• Change from the DFU control point property from notification to indication

• Requires nRFutil v2.2.0

@Srikar: What do you mean by "As Bootloader address is not changed" ? It is changed in our current example in SDK v13.

I don't see any problem update bootloader+SD+APP from SDK 12.0.2 to SDK 13.0.0.
