To flash a new firmware I always do the same thing. Open NRF Connect Open Bluetooth Low Energy Click: Start Scanning Click: Sort by signal strength Choose the device with a known name and (mostly) the best rssi Connect to it (sometimes try it for 2-3 times) Start flashing Is there some kind of console tool that I can also flash my firmware with? I'd like to write myself a little python script that always sets everything up for me and informs me when it's finished. Always haveing to use NRF Connect is tideous.

Automatically flash a firmware via BLnrf

To flash a new firmware I always do the same thing.

Open NRF Connect
Open Bluetooth Low Energy
Click: Start Scanning
Click: Sort by signal strength
Choose the device with a known name and (mostly) the best rssi
Connect to it (sometimes try it for 2-3 times)
Start flashing

Is there some kind of console tool that I can also flash my firmware with? I'd like to write myself a little python script that always sets everything up for me and informs me when it's finished. Always haveing to use NRF Connect is tideous.

Hi,

Since you mention BLE and flashing in the same procedure, I assume you are talking about BLE DFU for OTA firmware updates?

Is this assumption is correct, you can use nRF Util to perform the BLE DFU from command line. pc-nrfutil is available in source code on GitHub, and is actually written in Python already, and should fit easily into your plan.

Best regards,
Jørgen
