nRF Connect Legacy OTA tool

My company has a product that is running on the nRF51, with firmware written in SDK9 and sd310. I've been tasked with developing a path to update them to SDK 12.3 and sd130.  This process requires multiple updates of the DFU and softdevice. A few months ago the project was temporarily put on hold, at the time I was using using the iOS version of nRF connect to test the different versions of code at each stage in the process.  

I recently update the nRF Connect app, and was not happy to see it no longer supports the legacy DFU.  Is there any Nordic tool (PC or iOS) currently available that supports the legacy DFU?

  • Vidar, Sorry I was mistaken.  2.1.1 does still support the legacy DFU. I  tried using the left/right arrows on the bottom of the Advertisement Data window.  The arrows don't seem to do anything on my app.  I clicked the connect button in the upper right corner.  The app reported being connected, but stayed on the Advertisement data screen, and nothing from the arrows.    After your response I tried again.  I feel a bit stupid, the arrows don't work but swiping the screen does.  I didn't swipe the first time I tried the newer version of the app.
