In some cases the Smart Parks Connect app is not able to perform the Device Firmware Upgrade procedure. For these situations we could try to use the Nordic nRF Connect app in combination with the appropriate DFU file. Please only do this with extreme caution as it may render the device unusable.
- Scan for the target Edge device, by using the “scanner” tab.
- TIP: use the “Filter” to look for the correct device if many devices are showed.

- Once connected, hit the “DFU” button in the top right corner of the App.
- Select the correct DFU file from your phone storage.

- Wait untill the nRF Connect App is ready uploading and validating the new firmware.
- If needed, disconnect from the target device by hitting the “Disconnect” button.
- Close the nRF Connect App.
- Open and use the Smart Parks Connect App to check if the version number has been updated correctly.
