dongle for host apps of SUOTA

Question

Hi, 
 In the host_apps folder of SDK6, there is an Windows application code of SUOTA in a sub-folder initiator, and the code initiates a COM port on Windows for SUOTA operation. 
 I guess the device to which the COM port is connected is a DEVKT, like DA145xx Pro Dev Kit. But the application code of this DEVKT for SUOTA operation with host_apps on Windows is not found in SDK. If it is possible please provide more detail about this. 
 
 Thanks, 
 Jim

Hi Jim, Apologies for the delay. Please check the following instructions on how to use the host_suotai_585 script: For instance: Run the following command in order to perform suota using suota initiator host_suotai_585 example: host_suotai_585 42 EA:EA:EB:EB:EC:EA my_image.img spi 0 P0_5 P0_6 P0_3 P0_0 240 In the example above: 35 is the COM port of prox_monitor_ext. EA:EA:EB:EB:EC:EA is the BD address of the peripheral you want to update (in my case proximity-reporter with SUOTA enabled in a second DA14585 device) my_image.img is the file that will be transferred over the air to update proximity-reporter in my case spi use spi 0 bank is 0 P0_5 P0_6 P0_3 P0_0 - SPI Pin configuration for DA14585 240 block size Unfortunately, the contents of the host_suotai_585 script are not available.

Hi Jim, Thank you for posting your question online. The host_suotai_585.exe you are referring on the path: ...\6.0.18.1182.1\binaries\host\windows\suota\initiator is the SUOTA initiator application that you can run on PC. In order to use it you need to download prox_monitor_ext and then run on top the suota initiator host application. Go on the path:...\6.0.18.1182.1\projects	arget_apps\ble_examples\prox_monitor_ext The host_suotai_585 is designed for the DA14585/6 devices. Open CMD and use the host_suotai_585.exe as stated here: Kind Regards, OV_Renesas

Hi Jim, Thank you for the reply. For Software Update over the air you need the following: The host_suotai_585.exe is designed to act as the SUOTA Initiator for the DA14585/6 devices. If you want to use the host_suotai_585 , you should download the prox_monitor_ext fw into the DA14585 which will act as your SUOTA Receiver and then start the host_suotai_585 which will act as your SUOTA Initator.
