BLE Central: Service Not Found, while trying to implement a DFU Client

[Andre]

Hello.

I wish to implement a DFU Client. One (USB connected) nRF52840 based device should update an other (Wireless) nRF52840 device.

As the SDK only has a DFU service and not a DFU client, I'd figured I'd have to implement that myself. As a base, I started at ble_lbs_c.

I have replaced

#define LBS_UUID_BASE {0x23, 0xD1, 0xBC, 0xEA, 0x5F, 0x78, 0x23, 0x15, \
0xDE, 0xEF, 0x12, 0x12, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00}
#define LBS_UUID_SERVICE 0x1523

by

#define BLE_DFU_UUID_BASE     { 0x50, 0xEA, 0xDA, 0x30, 0x88, 0x83, 0xB8, 0x9F, \
                            0x60, 0x4F, 0x15, 0xF3, 0x00, 0x00, 0xC9, 0x8E }
#define BLE_DFU_SERVICE (0xFE59)

Now, the central connects to a peripheral in bootloader, but it is not able to find the bootloader service.

When I scan the device with the Android version of nRF Connect, it does show there is a service 0xFE59.

When I add a on_adv_report handler, a call to ble_advdata_uuid_find reveals there is no uuid data in the advertisement.

How can I properly detect the DFU Service running on a peripheral from a central?

Hi Andre,

I know this topic is a bit outdated, but it is exactly the solution I am looking for. Did you have any progress? Could you please share your results?

Best Regards.
