https://devzone.nordicsemi.com/f/nordic-q-a/54948/feature-request-ble-dfu-without-additional-deviceUsing nrfutil to flash devices via BLE requires, as per `nrfutil dfu ble --help` a second device to be present, and an inordinate amount of additional dependencies which make the whole process prone to failure (cf. https://github.com/NordicSemiconductoren-USTelligent Community 13Thu, 28 Nov 2019 16:05:47 GMThttps://devzone.nordicsemi.com/thread/222657?ContentTypeID=1Thu, 28 Nov 2019 16:05:47 GMT137ad170-7792-4731-bb38-c0d22fbe4515:637cec4a-ce80-4407-ab2b-1c30d30a9237chrysn<p>Thanks for the quick reply. My immediate need has gone away due to <a href="https://devzone.nordicsemi.com/f/nordic-q-a/54948/feature-request-ble-dfu-without-additional-device">https://devzone.nordicsemi.com/f/nordic-q-a/54948/feature-request-ble-dfu-without-additional-device</a> still being unresolved (meaning I&#39;ll be probably be using a different bootloader, given that the Thingy needs to be externally flashed anyway), but for general users I&#39;m sure BLE from PC will be useful.</p><div style="clear:both;"></div>https://devzone.nordicsemi.com/thread/222655?ContentTypeID=1Thu, 28 Nov 2019 16:00:50 GMT137ad170-7792-4731-bb38-c0d22fbe4515:7542a721-8801-4f2f-97bb-4472a7ddeec7Edvin<p>I believe that the reason why it isn&#39;t included is because when nrfutil was initially developed BLE on computers wasn&#39;t that common, and I guess that it hasn&#39;t been added later because it takes times. Thank you for the feedback. I will report it to our developers team.</p> <p></p> <p>Best regards,</p> <p>Edvin</p><div style="clear:both;"></div>
