Hello,
My company is developing a wireless battery powered product based on the nrf82533 which we would like to be able to update using secure DFU over BLE using nrfutil. When using a nrf82540-dongle (pca10059) with the connectivity firmware written to the device using nrf connect for desktop, we are able to update the device reliably using DFU over BLE using nrfutil.
When building the connectivity hex files from the pc-ble-driver repo on github, writing the output file connectivity_1.0.0_usb_with_s132_5.1.0.hex produces a dongle that can update the ble device. Writing connectivity_1.0.0_usb_with_s140_6.1.1.hex results in a dongle that cannot perform the ble dfu update.
Our software uses the S140 soft device version 6.1.1 so it would be ideal for the dongle to use this soft device and perform the dfu update.
How would one build a working ble-connectivity firmware for use with S140 to perform DFU updates over BLE for other Nordic ic devices?
Thank you very much for any input,
Ethan
Here is the output of nrfutil when using the dongle "connectivity_1.0.0_usb_with_s140_6.1.1.hex" to perform a ble dfu update to the product:
$ nrfutil -v -v -v -v dfu ble -pkg mnt/clipdongle/FWha.zip -ic NRF52 -p /dev/ttyACM0 -a $ADDR
