Are there any ways to update ble firmware without dongle via windows. All examples I see for this are over 2 years old.

I would like to allow a ble keyboard device to be updated through our own utility in windows. Is there any examples of how to do this?

Nordic does not provide any solutions for this that doesn't require external hardware, and in order to achieve this you would have to write your own custom solution. If you have Windows 8 or newer, you can use the Window Bluetooth API. 

You should develop your application according to the DFU protocol and the BLE Transport layer.

Best regards,

Thanks - We will just be using win 10. Was sad to see that this has not been done by Nordic already. I saw all the the DFU examples and assumed they were fully working.

Is there any example even close for windows app using the ble api for dfu anywhere?

After some google searching I was not able to find anything unfortunately, but there might be some custom solutions out there.
