&lt;p&gt;The nR52 can be programmed to operate as a central, connect to a given device, and start sending data to it. But whether it will be possible to do DFU will depend on how it&amp;#39;s implemented on this 3rd party device.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Do you have any additional information about the DFU implementation? E.g. if it uses an open or a proprietary transfer protocol, if it has any security mechanisms such as&amp;nbsp;&lt;span&gt;&lt;a title="Signature verification" href="https://infocenter.nordicsemi.com/topic/sdk_nrf5_v17.0.2/lib_bootloader_dfu_validation.html?cp=7_1_3_5_1_1_2_3#lib_bootloader_signatures"&gt;Signature verification&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt; that will prevent others from uploading FW on it, etc.. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Details about the DFU protocol we use can be found here: &lt;span&gt;&lt;a title="DFU protocol" href="https://infocenter.nordicsemi.com/topic/sdk_nrf5_v17.0.2/lib_dfu_transport.html?cp=7_1_3_5_2"&gt;DFU protocol&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
