Overview
The nordic_dfu package enables Device Firmware Update (DFU) for Nordic Semiconductor's nRF51 and nRF52 chips in Flutter applications. Built as a fork of flutter-nordic-dfu, it provides seamless integration with Android, iOS, and macOS platforms. This library simplifies over-the-air firmware updates for BLE-enabled devices using Nordic's DFU protocol, ensuring reliable and secure firmware upgrades. It is ideal for developers working with IoT hardware that relies on Nordic chips.
