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

The PAN(Product Anomaly Notification) workarounds that were included for revision 2 are no longer included in the more recent SDKs, this means that you can get a slew of errors. Troubleshooting could be hard. You could go for SDK 9 and attempt to include the PAN workarounds yourself.
