DfuUpdate Cordova Plugin

This Cordova Plugin is a Wrapper to use Nordic Semiconductor's Device Firmware Update (DFU) service to update a Bluetooth LE device.

It currently uses iOSDFULibrary (Version 4.8.0) on iOS and Android-DFU-Library (Default-Version 1.11.0) on Android.

This Plugin is in active development!

This and other Open-Source Cordova Plugins are developed in my free time. To help ensure this plugin is kept updated, new features are added and bugfixes are implemented quickly, please donate a couple of dollars (or a little more if you can stretch) as this will help me to afford to dedicate time to its maintenance. Please consider donating if you're using this plugin in an app that makes you money, if you're being paid to make the app, if you're asking for new features or priority bug fixes.
