Dear PandwaRF users,

Starting January 2025, a new security requirement have been introduced for updating the application firmware & BLE stack of your PandwaRF. Firmware update will only be initiated on bonded PandwaRF (regular, Rogue & Marauder). To ensure this, your PandwaRF must be connected and bonded before performing a firmware update.

To know if your PandwaRF is bonded, look for the “shield” icon in the app bar:

  • No Secure mode – PandwaRF not bonded
  • Secure mode – PandwaRF bonded

If secure mode is not yet activated, you will be invited to activate it.

To perform the update, the app requires your PandwaRF to be connected and bonded. To learn more about Secure pairing, click here.

  • If your PandwaRF isn’t securely paired, the PandwaRF App will require you to establish pairing then bonding using the Android system menu.

   

  • Once your device is securely paired & bonded, the Nordic firmware update will automatically start.

TL;DR

Nordic firmware updates will now require bonded connection between your Android and your PandwaRF.
