Entering the bootloader

To enter the bootloader using the Nordic Buttonless DFU you need to write to a characteristic of the Buttonless Secure DFU Service which uses the 16-bit UUID 0xFE59. The actual characteristic depends on your settings. The Buttonless DFU can be used with or without bonds and would show a different characteristic for either one. Take a look at the documentation for more information about that.

The protocol to enter the bootloader is super simple:

enter image description here

To enter the bootloader, you need to send 0x01 to the characteristic. You will receive a response telling you the result of the operation. The message sequence diagram shows a successful response which is made of

0x20 -> defines this message as response
0x01 -> the command you requested (enter bootloader)
0x01 -> Success

Take a look the the documentation for more response codes.

Sending the firmware update

There is a very detailed page about the DFU protocol including a part especially about using BLE. It includes a message sequence chart describing the actual protocol where you can easily see in which order your messages need to be sent and to which characteristic.
