 I would like to implement a second bootloader to program an external serial Flash chip.
Currently using S110 V7.1. 
 My current thinking is to create another self contained application in BANK_0 (I should have the space) which when run will</description><dc:language>en-US</dc:language><generator>Telligent Community 13</generator><lastBuildDate>Sat, 11 Apr 2015 02:05:28 GMT</lastBuildDate><atom:link rel="self" type="application/rss+xml" href="https://devzone.nordicsemi.com/f/nordic-q-a/6463/how-to-implement-2-bootloaders" /><item><title>RE: How to implement 2 bootloaders</title><link>https://devzone.nordicsemi.com/thread/22549?ContentTypeID=1</link><pubDate>Sat, 11 Apr 2015 02:05:28 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">137ad170-7792-4731-bb38-c0d22fbe4515:3d9d1bfc-ed3a-4838-be0d-febe54926c95</guid><dc:creator>Clem Taylor</dc:creator><description>&lt;p&gt;I had the same issue.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Initially I was going to extend the START packet to include an extra optional length field. But I needed to be able to test the SPI upgrade before our app was written. So instead I added data to init packet that specifies the SPI partition data.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;My SPI flash is 2MB, the worst case upgrade time really sucks.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;If I had it to do over again, I suspect I would drop the DFU bootloader and go with a bootloader that only knows how to copy data from SPI flash into nrf51 flash. That way the bootloader wouldn&amp;#39;t be tied to the softdevice and I would end up with more internal flash to work with. The application would download the new application (over time, no hurry) and once all the data is validate, reboot with a GPREGRET command to swap in new data.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item></channel></rss>
