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.

There are some info from this blog

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. I'm not entirely sure what the distinction is between migrating and porting.

Also, that tutorial is for Keil, rather than Eclipse/GCC. It would be helpful to know what other steps might be needed for Eclipse/GCC

When migrating you would alter the files provided by the SDK, when porting you would download the new SDK and move your code over to that, take care to check release notes and check for API changes.

Right you are, for now you are on your own on getting the bootloader code flashed initially to your device, however the tutorial is still valid from the step "Testing the DFU"

Thanks, Nguyen.
