nRF Toolbox DFU only app not working as intended.

[Troy Patterson]

I was given the source code to the nRF Toolbox DFU only app in order to implement its functionality within my own app. Using the nRF Connect app, I've connected to my hardware and enabled DFU mode. I then switched over to the DFU only app and attempted to upload new firmware which I then received the "DFU Service Not Found" error. And, the upload then fails.

Is there any further advice you can give on setting up a self contained app to enabled DFU and upload, all within the same app?

I need build an app that may have a disconnect while performing an update, currently I am unable to recover using my own software if this happens. Using nRF Connect, if an update is stopped, it can be resumed once a reconnection is established. I would like to use the nRF Toolbox DFU Only app as an example so I can do this the correct way. Please advise.

Thank you

Are you refering to the branch "dfu_only" from this Nordic Semiconductor GitHub repository?

I see that this branch is very old, so it will not work with the newest nRF5 SDK out of the box. At the very least you will have to bump up the version of the DFU library to version 1.6.1 on this line. The branch also targets a quite old Android API which you may want to upgrade in your application.

My general suggestion is that you look at the source code on the master branch instead and see how the library is being used in the most recent build of the application. Then I would either use that master branch as a starting point, or even better, just implement the usage of the DFU library in my own app by simply doing the same API calls as the ones on the master branch.
