IOS-nRF-Toolbox

The nRF Toolbox is a container app that stores your Nordic Semiconductor apps for Bluetooth Smart in one location.

The current version is 3.0.

New in 3.0 version:

  • The application uses DFU Library, instead of having it's own implementation. See IOS-DFU-Library.

New in 2.5 version:

  • Refreshed Look & Feel
  • Better user experience in DFU and UART profiles
  • Bug fixes

It contains applications demonstrating Bluetooth Smart profiles:

  • Cycling Speed and Cadence,
  • Running Speed and Cadence,
  • Heart Rate Monitor,
  • Blood Pressure Monitor,
  • Health Thermometer Monitor,
  • Glucose Monitor,
  • Proximity Monitor.

Device Firmware Update

The Device Firmware Update (DFU) profile allows you to update the application, bootloader and/or the Soft Device image over-the-air (OTA). It is compatible with Nordic Semiconductor nRF5x devices that have the S-Series SoftDevice and bootloader enabled. From version 1.5 onward, the nRF Toolbox has allowed to send the required init packet. More information about the init packet may be found here: init packet handling.

The nRF Toolbox 3.0 is using the DFULibrary framework, available here: IOS-DFU-Library. The library is required to compile the project. Please, follow the steps in this repository to add it to the project.

The DFU has the following features:

  • Scans for devices that are in DFU mode.
  • Connects to devices in DFU mode and uploads the selected firmware (Softdevice, Bootloader and/or application).
  • Allows HEX or BIN file upload through your phone or tablet.
  • Allows to update a Softdevice and/or bootloader and application from ZIP automatically.
  • Pause, resume, and cancel file uploads.
  • Includes pre-installed examples that consist of the Bluetooth Smart heart rate service and running speed and cadence service.
