[quote user="mu234"]by BL I meant the Bluetooth&amp;nbsp;[/quote]
&lt;p&gt;The answer to the original question is no because it needs the Bluetooth stack which the empty device&amp;nbsp;&lt;span&gt;from the manufacturer doesn&amp;#39;t have.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;To update image from a phone or other device with Bluetooth, you can take a look&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;To clarify my question, the idea is to flash the nRF52xxx part via the bluetooth, e.g. from a phone or other device with a bluetooth... please let me know, if I get my question across?&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;What do you mean by the &amp;quot;BL&amp;quot;? Is it the bootloader? If so, I don&amp;#39;t think there is the bootloader as you said &amp;quot;the empty device&amp;nbsp;&lt;span&gt;from the manufacturer&amp;quot;.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;If you are using nRF52 DK with nRF5 SDK, have a look at&amp;nbsp;&lt;a title="Setting up your toolchain" href="https://infocenter.nordicsemi.com/topic/ug_gsg_ses/UG/gsg/install_toolchain.html?cp=1_0_2_5"&gt;Setting up your toolchain&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;and&amp;nbsp;&lt;a title="Programming an application" href="https://infocenter.nordicsemi.com/topic/ug_gsg_ses/UG/gsg/program.html?cp=1_0_2_6"&gt;Programming an application&lt;/a&gt;. However, I would suggest you start with the new SDK,&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="http://developer.nordicsemi.com/nRF_Connect_SDK/doc/latest/nrf/index.html"&gt;NCS&lt;/a&gt;. See this&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="https://devzone.nordicsemi.com/nordic/nordic-blog/b/blog/posts/nrf-connect-sdk-and-nrf5-sdk-statement"&gt;nRF Connect SDK and nRF5 SDK statement&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
