Buttonless DFU mode Sparkfun nrf9160 thing plus

AaamorosINVOLI · Sep 10, 2024

Hello,

For my use case, I want to update my firmware remotely. Therefore I am looking for a way to get into the DFU mode without the buttons or the header connections but through the serial/USB link.

I saw that it’s available on the nrf9160 feather since the v5 hardware version but is it available on the SparkFun thing plus?

Feel free to indicate any other remote update method, if it’s impossible through the USB C connector.

Thanks for your help and have a nice day.

Adrien

Hi @aamorosINVOLI

Correct. That’s only on the newer versions of the nRF9160 Feather.

Thanks for your answer @jaredwolff !

Is there any other way to remotely update the application firmware for the SparkFun thing plus ?

@aamorosINVOLI you can always do FOTA using Nordics FOTA implementation or some other variety. It does require a cellular connection though.
