nRF52840 DONGLE DFU ZIP #43
Comments
It seems I made the debug package with a blind guess of parameters just to make things work.. but it would be nice to have this nice DFU ZIP package provided too for platforms where only
Flashed it with
As a result I got umodem device up and running :-)
The OS is FreeBSD :-)

Thank you for reporting this feature request. The Device Firmware Upgrade (DFU) process supported by nRF Sniffer for 802.15.4 is intended to be a simple development tool. It is not intended to be deployed as a part of final products. Because of that DFU or FOTA are overkill for this tool and these features are not planned in its roadmap. The idea is that an engineer that intends to use the sniffer, uses nrfjprog (from nRF Command Line Tools package) or nRF Connect for Desktop to flash a sniffer device. If an engineer is interested in flashing newer firmware version, he/she should use nrfjprog or nRF Connect for Desktop again. However, the firmware is released rarely and because of that flashing newer firmware version is not an operation performed often by users. |
@cederom, I've just read in NordicSemiconductor/pc-nrfutil#335 that you are interested in Bluetooth protocol. Please note that nRF Sniffer for 802.15.4 is a sniffer of 802.15.4 packets. 802.15.4 and Bluetooth are incompatible radio protocols. Have a look at this tool to sniff Bluetooth protocol: https://www.nordicsemi.com/Software-and-tools/Development-Tools/nRF-Sniffer-for-Bluetooth-LE
It seems that you have nRF Sniffer for Bluetooth LE running. It is other tool than nRF Sniffer for 802.15.4. I believe you are interested in nRF Sniffer for Bluetooth LE, not 802.15.4. However, if you need any help with nRF Sniffer for 802.15.4, please add your questions in this repository, or reopen this issue. |
Hello @hubertmis and thank you for quick response! Whoops, so this 802.15.4 sniffer is something different than BT sniffer, sorry and thanks for pointing this out, my first steps here :-) If possible I am still interested in a DFU ZIP for DONGLE for this 802.15.4 (also for the BT project) :-) There is only nRF Connect is not available on my platform so I need to use |
Well I can talk to the 802.15.4 sniffer over minicom terminal! I have generated DFU ZIP exactly the same way as described above. This probably means a problem with BT sniffer firmware. Maybe Why there is only one dedicated repo on github for 802.15.4 while not for BT? These solutions are very similar from the computer perspective :-) Thank you for your feedback and time @hubertmis :-) |
I've explained above why DFU is overkill for the sniffer project. We don't plan to add such feature.
You can upload firmware to dongle using nRF Connect for Desktop. You don't need debug probe or nrfutil.
Perhaps that's the source of the problem. I recommend to create a devzone ticket to run nRF Connect for Desktop on your platform.
I can't help you with bluetooth sniffer. Here again I recommend to create a devzone ticket.
The goal of these tools is similar, but the implementation is different. We are in the process of unification distribution methods of all tools delivered by Nordic. Currently some tools are deployed to GitHub, while other are not. |
Hello world :-)
Can you please provide instructions on how to convert HEX into DFU ZIP so I can use
nrfutil
python utility?Can you please provide a DFU ZIP package along the HEX file for a DONGLE just to quickly flash it using
nrfutil
?I am using FreeBSD and only Open-Source stuff works here :-)
Thank you :-)
