1. We not able to run Secure dfu example over thread
2. DFU in multicast mode, DFU server doesn't complete the DFU process . it get stuck on last 2 byte data (command used: nrfutil dfu thread -f -pkg app_dfu_package.zip -p COM3 --channel 11 --panid 43981 -r 4 -rs 5000 -a FF03::1)
3. DFU Server in multicast mode always sends the data even if no DFU client is available

Hi Peeyush,

At this point it is not clear if the problem is in the nrfutil or in the SDK. 

Seems like you are running windows and we do not see big issues like this with nrfutil on Windows.

I will try to follow that guide and see if it fails the same way as you on my desk and then try to debug it from there on Monday. (hopefully that is OK) 

Meanwhile i strongly recommend you to upgrade your nrf tools to latest and greatest.

I had tried on linux first..then moved to PC.. I agree with you..if you can share your tools version then it should be useful to us. How ever I have noticed one thing the client is not being able to print the IP addresses properly.

Let me know if you are using DK or PDK for testing this setup.

Thanks

Peeyush,

I am using DK and do not have any PDKs with me.

I am strongly suspecting this has to do something with nrfutil which is the tool you used to generate the hex file. Something might have gone wrong there with signing the HEX file.

Please try it out with the latest nrfutil and nrfjprog versions.

[kpyush]

please try with new SDK2.0 and nrfutil4.0.0.. these have been released yesterday itself. I am facing the same issue you can try on DK and let me know I have 4 of these.
