OTA Software update of IOT devices running Azure RTOS

Anton Lagerholm 26

Hi!

Are there any support for updating the firmware on embedded devices running Azure RTOS? If for example I'm running an STM32 microcontroller with Azure RTOS and the Azure SDK for C. Will I be able to update this device from the cloud in some way. Do you have some example of this? Or do I need to write my own code for updating the device OTA?

I have been looking around in your documentation but I haven't been able to find anything indicating this so far.

Great question @Anton Lagerholm ,

You will need to adapt your code to update the device OTA. Can you share some examples of ways you would expect it to be done without needing to customize the code?

See also this example: Tutorial: Implement a device firmware update process

It gives you an idea on how it is done using device twin desired properties and device twin reported properties

Thank you!

Ok thanks! I was hoping there was some sort of help with the device side from Azure RTOS.

This would be a great addition to your offering to get help with updating the firmware on these kind of devices. It's usually hard and time consuming to get the SW update process correct and secure.
