Performing Device Firmware Updates (DFU) in Bluetooth Mesh

The nRF Connect SDK supports two DFU methods when updating your firmware over-the-air (FOTA) for your Bluetooth® Mesh devices and applications.

  • DFU over Bluetooth Mesh using the Zephyr Bluetooth Mesh DFU subsystem that implements the Mesh Device Firmware Update Model specification version 1.0 and Mesh Binary Large Object Transfer Model specification version 1.0.

  • Point-to-point DFU over Bluetooth Low Energy using the MCUmgr subsystem and the Simple Management Protocol (SMP).
