What's the official stance regard S110 vs S130 OTA?

If I'm not mistaken, both S110 and S130 support OTA DFU right?

I understand that nordic semi most likely recommend S130 over S110, but please understand that

my current project works on S110, migrating to S130 could be a bit of a drag. Is there any more compelling reason

that I should use S130 over S110 for OTA? I've successfully tested the OTA on S130, but got cold feet when

thinking about the potention trouble of migration.

    We don't really recommend either over the other. The S130 has an extended feature set to support running as a BLE central device. If you do not need to run a central role the S110 is just as good as the S130, and it even requires less RAM/ROM. Do not be afraid to use the S110 SoftDevice, it's just as thoroughly tested and qualified for use in BLE products.

    You should use the OTA BLE S110 DFU bootloader found in "nRF51_SDK_10.0.0_dc26b5e/examples/dfu/bootloader/pca10028/dual_bank_ble_s110" (or equivalent from whatever SDK you are basing your project on).

  • Hi, to use S110 bootloader, do I have to go through the same procedure as mentioned in this tutorial, only change it for S110? Or do I simply need to compile the example and run, and S110 doesn't really support security verification whatnot?

    Also, another question:

    Ideally, one would use all 3 components, the bootloader, the SD and the app built and compiled from the same SDK, but as my current situation stands, is there potentially a problem if I use the following combination?

    bootloader: from SDK10

    softdevice s110: Also from SDK10, same as above

    Software: from a different SDK, but with iRAM, iROM settings configured for s110

    Also... if it's not too much of a trouble, is there any tutorials for S110 DFU, like the one I mentioned above? That tutorial is pretty good.

    Last but not least... which version Android nrfToolBox should I use? All of them? What about the security verification pub-key, private-key issue, since S110 dfu example doesn't appear to support that?
