Get DFU/OTA to work with Android/IOS

I am trying to get DFU/OTA to work with the supplied sample Apps, so far no luck. I bought the nRF51 DK to have the hardware matching and tried with SD S310 2.01 and dfu_dual_bank_ble_s310_pca10028.uvprojx sample from SDK 7.2 and also with SD S110 8.0 and dfu_dual_bank_ble_s110_pca10028.uvprojx from SDK 8.0 and tried to load dfu_test_app_hrm.zip or dfu_test_app_hrm.hex (supplied with SDK 8.0 in test_images_update) with nRF Toolbox and nRF Master control panel under Android 4.4.2 all without luck. I see the DfuTarg advertising, in some cases I see the connected LED going on but I never got a successful load. Error messages vary, f.e. GATT error, nrf file error(2), remote DFU not supp ...

Could somebody please clarify, which versions of the Apps are compatible with which versions of SDK+SD and which file formats they support ? In the 8.0 bootloader there is a requirement for 'Master Control Panel v3.8 or later', which is obviously a PC version, which seems not available yet ?

A complete set of files to get the chain running for the 1st time would be really helpful.

  • At least partly I can answer my own question: The link on the nordic pages for the MCP : www.nordicsemi.com/.../nRF-Master-Control-Panel-for-Android-4.3 is outdated since long. Using the MCP from the play store did solve my main problem at least partly: I could now download the HRM sample app but I had to unzip the provided .zip and use the provided .hex and the .dat from the unzip. Using the .zip directly still does not work. The NRF Toolbox seems still incompatible or I do not have the current version here either, so please, nordic support, provide release numbers for the Apps too, may be in the compatibility matrix ! This has taken me several hours and still does not work as expected.
