Nordic DFU boot loader Questions for nrf52.
The link on the mbed site which explains the Internals of Nordic DFU boot loader https://docs.mbed.com/docs/ble-intros/en/latest/Advanced/Bootloader/ is it valid for the nrf52 as well?
I am trying to figure out in a production scenario how would I go about enabling FOTA in nrf52? Also from the link above the online IDE generates the Softdevice + Application and the drag-n-drop of the firmware over USB results in a mass-erase followed by programming.
So in order to have a bootloader that supports FOTA, should I not be building using the online compiler?
Thanks, Ajay.

Still no updates on the nRF52? Currently the nRF52 is still lacking DFU FOTA support, a pretty critical feature. I wanted to make mbed work for a project but at the minute it is a bit of a fragmented mess with mbed-OS 2.0 vs 5.0 and support for important features such as FOTA is missing.
It's available at a feature branch, and I've been using it myself and works fine (although it uses the old bootloader, not the new secure one). I've asked internally why this has not been merged yet.

FOTA targets for nRF52 are not released jet in mbed-os. Although it is possible to use those from feature branch (see https://github.com/ARMmbed/mbed-os/tree/feature-nrf5_dfu_s13x_v2/targets/TARGET_NORDIC#2-regular-and-fota-targets-types). you must using mbed-cli for building those FOTA targets.
Any thoughts on this question?
