Hi Brian,

No it's not included. They are separated firmware and should be flash separately (combination is possible but it's different topic). You can follow this tutorial or have a look at the documentation.

How do I tell if the bootloader is flashed? My makefile is building the file components/libraries/bootloader_dfu/bootloader_util.c, so I assume I have the bootloader flashed. Do I need to do more than that to get the bootloader. I'm using Eclipse as my development environment, and have flashed the S110 Soft Device and my application (+ bootloader???) to the board using the J-Link debugger. Would my app even run if it did not have a bootloader? I'm attaching my Makefile for reference.

Makefile

Thanks...

Hi Brian,

Have you flashed the bootloader to the board ? You should first flash the bootloader, then use the bootloader to upload your application. After that you can do DFU from your application.

You can test with our .zip example file included in the Nordic Semiconductor/Board/PCA10028 folder on your Android phone. Such as the ble_app_hrm_dfu_s110_v8_0_0_sdk_v_9_0.zip

After you have tested with the example and all works, you can try with your app. Note that you have to generate the .zip file with more parameter such as application-version, dev-revision, etc

Basically it should look like:

nrfutil dfu genpkg app.zip --application yourapplication.hex --application-version 0xffff --dev-revision 0xffff --dev-type 0xffff --sd-req 0xfffe
