There's nothing built in to Espruino though I'm afraid, but if it works maybe we should add it!

Well, I proposed that previously but so far your argument was that it is dangerous - someone with access to console can remotely update your device so something physical (holding button) to enter DFU is safer.

Some watches uses also value 1 in GPREGRET to trigger DFU so in my custom builds I have one liner
```
--- a/targets/nrf5x_dfu/main.c
+++ b/targets/nrf5x_dfu/main.c
@@ -149,18 +153,19 @@ bool nrf_dfu_enter_check(void) {

   bool dfu_start;
+  if (NRF_POWER->GPREGRET == 1) { NRF_POWER->GPREGRET=0; return true; }

   dfu_start = get_btn1_state();
 [#else](https://forum.espruino.com/search/?q=%23else)
```
but I agree that it is somewhat dangerous.
With that one liner in bootloader you enter DFU by poke32(0x4000051c,1), with softdevice enabled it automatically reboots (into DFU)

If it’s not enabled by default, I think it should definitely be behind an ifdef, or maybe enabled some other way. Maybe a DFU update that flips a byte flag somewhere?

It’s hard though, because you’re trying to secure functionality through a repl console that should ultimately be password protected by the user… I get what you’re saying though
