Android-DFU-Library works under Android Things

[Nijat]

I have successfully implemented DFU over the Air function using Android-DFU-Library (Github) for my Android mobile phone.

The Android-DFU-Library needs Android 4.3+ at least.

Android Things lets you build smart, connected devices for a wide variety of consumer, retail, and industrial applications.

So, right now, I want to implement the DFU function on my Android Things Board using Android-DFU-Library.

But I don't have any idea if the Android-DFU-Library is compatible with Android Things.

Anyone has done that before ?

Hi Nijat, 

How do you want to build your Android Things ? 

Our DFU library is made for OTA DFU of the NRF52 via Bluetooth LE only. If you are using external MCU, for example the Rasperi PI (in combination with our nRF52) you would need to implement your own mechanism to send the image from the NRF52 to the Pi.

Don't you understand my question ? I have already implemented DFU function on my Android Device using Nordic Android-DFU-Library (Github). I was implementing sending the firmware from Android Things Board to NRF52832, not sending the image from the NRF52 to the Pi. What does the Pi use a nrf52 firmware for ? The Android Things has all the API of BLE which is the same with Android OS.

Ok, After 2 days of working, finally I implemented successfully.
