OTA DFU Software Requirements

Kaveh.M

Three software seems to perform OTA DFU: nrfutil command line, nRF connect from desktop, nRF connect from mobile

Do I need all three of them? Are they part of Nordik SDK or they are stand alone SW? And are they only available for Windows or they can also be installed on raspberry pi Debian? 

Thanks

    Hi!

    You do not need all three of them, you can use whichever one you prefer.

    They are not part of the nRF5 SDK, as the SDK is a software development kit that you can use to build applications with the MCU's. nRF Connect for Desktop, nRF Connect for Mobile and nRF Util are separate development tools that allow you to test the DFU capabilities of our MCU's. 

    You will have to use the nRF5 SDK to enable DFU functionality on the MCU you are working with. 

    nRF Util is just a Python package, so you should be able to install it on a Raspberry Pi. 

    Best regards,
