Hi again Isabella,
If you are fine having a dongle connected to the beagleboard then it should be fine using nrfutil. The source code of the program is provided on github and you should be able to compile it for Linux.

Thank you for the replies!

I was thinking in a solution using something similar to the update using nrfutil in the example.

Is it possible to use the same nrfutil commands with a nrf52840-dongle connected to my computer or linux board, instead of DK? Or I'd have to make changes on nrfutil code?

Hi Isabella,

We currently don't have any example or source code on how you can do it on Linux. You may refer to the Android DFU library that Dien pointed to.
I have created a DFU master code for SPI and UART here that might be useful for you. Other than that you would need to look into the DFU protocol specification and implement your own DFU master code on the Beaglebone board.

I'm not a support team member, I just accidentally glanced over and saw your question.
You can find the library Android-DFU-Library allowed to run on Android. I think you can convert the code java to run on your Beaglebone kit
