I am developing OTA-DFU nowadays. I have successfully tested the buttonless OTA-DFU using the nRF52-DK. 
 And I&amp;#39;m testing on my custom board and I have one problem. My custom board has a soft power button</description><dc:language>en-US</dc:language><generator>Telligent Community 13</generator><lastBuildDate>Sun, 01 Dec 2019 22:55:22 GMT</lastBuildDate><atom:link rel="self" type="application/rss+xml" href="https://devzone.nordicsemi.com/f/nordic-q-a/55076/during-the-ota-dfu-attempt-the-bootloader-cannot-be-woken-up-because-the-device-is-not-rebooted" /><item><title>RE: During the OTA-DFU attempt, the BOOTLOADER cannot be woken up because the device is not rebooted.</title><link>https://devzone.nordicsemi.com/thread/222920?ContentTypeID=1</link><pubDate>Sun, 01 Dec 2019 22:55:22 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">137ad170-7792-4731-bb38-c0d22fbe4515:e23eb2dc-fb09-46c9-b526-716eddd77d0c</guid><dc:creator>Turbo J</dc:creator><description>[quote userid="7079" url="~/f/nordic-q-a/55076/during-the-ota-dfu-attempt-the-bootloader-cannot-be-woken-up-because-the-device-is-not-rebooted"]V is supplied to the nRF52832 through the LDO, and the nRF52832 holds the LDO through one GPIO. It keeps the power supply.[/quote]
&lt;p&gt;The bootloader MUST do the same. Just add the corresponding line in the bootloaders main.c source file. You must do this pretty early, otherwise the LDO will turn off.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Now between the NVIC_SystemReset() and the bootloader turning on the LDO GPIO pin, the latter will probably be high impedance. You might want to use a capacitor to buffer the signal level a bit - I&amp;#39;d try 100nF first.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item></channel></rss>
