&lt;p&gt;We haven&amp;#39;t added anything regarding this matter yet. But the fstorage module is designed so it&amp;#39;s not too difficult to modify it to use external flash instead of the internal one.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item><item><title>RE: DFU using external FLASH</title><link>https://devzone.nordicsemi.com/thread/143444?ContentTypeID=1</link><pubDate>Wed, 08 Aug 2018 19:39:13 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">137ad170-7792-4731-bb38-c0d22fbe4515:3c6117d3-df81-41aa-8f0b-9c732f478e6f</guid><dc:creator>Anantha Keshava</dc:creator><description>&lt;p&gt;Hi&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="https://devzone.nordicsemi.com/members/hungbui"&gt;Hung Bui&lt;/a&gt;,&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Thanks for confirming this. Is there an example code to get something like this working quickly for my evaluation?&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item><item><title>RE: DFU using external FLASH</title><link>https://devzone.nordicsemi.com/thread/32257?ContentTypeID=1</link><pubDate>Wed, 19 Aug 2015 11:58:53 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">137ad170-7792-4731-bb38-c0d22fbe4515:f53d9fa5-5e3e-4dfc-a65f-af9539ad5b59</guid><dc:creator>Hung Bui</dc:creator><description>&lt;p&gt;Hi you_do_need_a_user_name,&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I don&amp;#39;t see any constraint that you should not use external flash to store DFU image before swapping it with the original application image.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The main reason we don&amp;#39;t do that with our SDK example because we want to provide a solution without requiring additional component, which mean additional cost.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;If you use external flash for the purpose, the code will more simple and you can have larger size limit with dual bank update.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item></channel></rss>
