Updating firmware on a Thingy in bootloader mode

This scenario is not a default use case.

To update firmware on a Thingy that is in bootloader mode, follow the steps below.
  1. To put Thingy into bootloader mode, power it off and then on while holding the button on top of Thingy
    The device starts advertising with the new name "ThingyDFU". The MAC address is always incremented by 1 when a Thingy device is in bootloader mode.
  2. To enter the Scanner view if Thingy is in bootloader mode and not connected yet:
    • iOS: Tap Target.
    • Android: Tap the blue DFU icon.
    All Thingy devices that are in bootloader mode are displayed in the list. Their default name is "ThingyDfu".
  3. Select the device on which you want to run DFU. The process is initiated in the same manner as in the default method.
Important: When Thingy is in bootloader mode, it is impossible to connect to it using the Connect button in the main menu of the app.

During the DFU update, you can pause and resume the DFU update from the point when it was stopped.
