serial DFU update with SD+BL+APP

Hello,

According to the description in below page, "The image can be an application image, SoftDevice image, bootloader image, or a combined image of bootloader and SoftDevice."

https://infocenter.nordicsemi.com/index.jsp?topic=%2Fcom.nordic.infocenter.sdk5.v14.2.0%2Fsdk_app_serial_dfu_bootloader.html&cp=4_0_0_4_4_2 

Does it mean if DFU (SD+BL+APP) altogether, I have to do DFU twice? Firstly DFU (SD+BL) and then DFU (APP)?

And also when DFU the soft device, is it possible to upgrade / downgrade if the major version is different? for example DFU from 15.2 to 16 / 16 back to 15.2? 

Thanks!

Kevin

    I just tried to use nrfutil to dfu my nRF52840 EVB, below shows you what inside the package file (.zip), manifest.json and the command line to issue dfu:

    nrfutil dfu serial -pkg test.zip -p com69 -fc 0 -b 9600

    dfu can start as normal but end up the application is not being updated. Please advise how can I use nrfutil to dfu the full image (SD+BL+APP)?

    Thanks,

    Kevin
