- DFU using USB Flashing Format a.k.a [UF2](https://github.com/Microsoft/uf2) (Applicatoin only)
- Auto enter DFU briefly on startup for DTR auto-reset trick (832 only)
## Burn & Upgrade
## How to use
There are 2 pins **DFU & FRST** that bootloader will check upon reset/power
- `DFU = Low and FRST = High` Enter DFU with UF2 and CDC support
- `DFU = Low and FRST = Low` Enter DFU with OTA, can be upgraded with mobile application such as Nordic nrfConnect/Toolbox
- `DFU = High and FRST = Low` Factory Reset mode, erase firmware application and its data
- `DFU = High and FRST = High` Goto application code if it is present, otherwise enter DFU with UF2
- Depending on value of the `GPREGRET` register, Bootloader can enter any of above mode (plus a CDC only mode for Arduino). `GPREGRET` is set by application before performing a softreset.
For the exact pin location, please check your board definition for details
## Burn & Upgrade with pre-built binaries
You can burn and/or upgrade bootloader with either jlink or dfu (serial) to a specific pre-built binary version without the hassle to install toolchain and compile the code. This is preferred if you are not developing/customizing the bootloader
@ -40,11 +52,24 @@ To upgrade with dfu serial
$ make BOARD=feather_nrf52840_express VERSION=6.1.0r0 dfu-flash
You can run following command for the list of pre-builtin binaries
$ ls bin/*
bin/feather_nrf52832:
2.0.1 5.0.0 6.1.0r0
bin/feather_nrf52840_express:
6.1.0r0
bin/pca10056:
6.1.0r0
Note: bootloader is downgradable, since the binary release is merged of bootloader and Softdevice, you could freely "upgrade" to any version you like.
## Compile
## Compile with latest codes
Please only continue if you are looking to develop bootloader for your own. Having a jlink to **de-brick** your device is a must.
