Migrate from SDK 6.1 to 9.0 under Eclipse/GCC

[JohnBrown]

I'm looking to migrate from SDK 6.1 to SDK 9.0, using GCC and Eclipse. Any pointers would be welcome. Also, I'm hoping to start using the OTA DFU. Once again, if there are any tutorials or blogs that simplify the process I'd love to hear about them.

Hi,

I would recommend porting your application to SDK 9 instead of trying to migrate the SDK several revisions, while this might seem tedious it it probably going to save you a lot of headache.

There is an introductory tutorial on setting up DFU for the nRF51 DK, I think you will find this helpful.

Best regards,

Øyvind

Thanks, that would seem to suggest that, having dowloaded MCP 3.9 in order to prepare the zip file for the DFU, I now need to revert to an older MCP version in order to use it!

Would I be be better off trying to move to SDK 7 and SoftDevice 8, as Nguyen suggests? What are the impications of trying to use SDK 7 and SD 8 with a rev 2 chip?
