Buttonless DFU using BLE

[Roh_Sys]

Hello,

I have application that is sending data over BLE every 5 minutes.

I want to implement DFU using BLE. I don't have any single button on my device.

What should i have to add in my application for DFU. I use native nRF boot-loader from example. What are the changes i have to do in native Bootloader for buttonless DFU.

How to tell my application to jump into DFU mode ? 

Thanks.

But i am still confuse. what to add in my application so it can go in DFU mode ?

Hi.

Have you had a look at the infocenter? It is described there how you can enter DFU mode:

In the DFU mode, the bootloader activates the DFU transports and the device is ready to receive new firmware. The bootloader enters the DFU mode on the following conditions:

• No valid application is present.
• SoftDevice is activated and a valid application is present. In that case, the bootloader expects that an application update can be requested by the host.
• Entering DFU mode is triggered by one of the optional sources:
  • Button (NRF_BL_DFU_ENTER_METHOD_BUTTON),
  • Pin reset (NRF_BL_DFU_ENTER_METHOD_PINRESET),
  • Special value in GPREGRET register (NRF_BL_DFU_ENTER_METHOD_GPREGRET),
  • Request from the application written to the settings page (NRF_BL_DFU_ENTER_METHOD_BUTTONLESS).

Best regards,

Andreas

Hey,

I already went through that infocenter. I am using BLE as transport and NRF_BL_DFU_ENTER_METHOD_BUTTONLESS as to enter into DFU mode. 

My que is

My application is running and i want to go in DFU mode (Buttonless). How to do that ?

I mean is there anything i need to add in my current application ? 

Lets take an example to explain.

I have Hello world example in my flash memory. now i want to change that application i mean i want to flash another LED Blink example. So, how can i do that using Buttonless DFU and BL?

Hi.

I'm not really sure in understand your question.

Have you or have you not entered DFU mode?

If you are not in DFU mode, what way do you wish to enter the DFU mode?

Best regards,

Andreas
