MCUBoot DFU Support in Xamarin App

[Phil Wherrett]

Hi There,

We're new to Nordic and in the process of attempting to move our custom Xamarin application and boards over to use the nRF52832 and the nRF Connect SDK.  Has anyone successfully implemented the DFU process in a Xamarin App using the nRF Connect SDK?  There are some NuGet packages that support nRF5 SDK and Soft-Devices, but there doesn't appear to be any that support the nRF Connect SDK and MCUBoot?

There are a couple of existing Device Manager libraries for iOS and Android but I haven't seen anything for Xamarin.  Has anyone attempted to create Xamarin Bindling Libraries based on these?

Would you recommend that we instead use the nRF5 SDK at utilise existing NuGet Xamarin packages?

Any assistance or feedback would be greatly appreciated.

Cheers,

Phil.

Hi Phil,

Nordic does not have a Xamarin package for MCUBoot and mcumgr based DFU (so for nRF Connect SDK context), nor am I aware of any such package. Perhaps someone else on this forum knows about something or has something they ware willing to share?

Without this there are several other options. For instance implement your mobile apps again without Xamarin, or as you say use nRF5 SDK instead. Those are very different approaches, though. Regarding the nrF5 SDK versus nRF Connect SDK I suggest you read the nRF Connect SDK and nRF5 SDK statement and keep that part of your considerations.

Hello Phil,

I have the same problem.

If you found something, please let me know.

Thanks!

Hi Einar, did you found something ?

We do not provide any Xamarin package for MCUBoot and mcumgr based DFU. (They may be some other implementations out there that I am not aware of, though.)

OK, thanks.

Is there a way to implement this package to my xamarin application ?
