Performing Your First FOTA Update

Before we dive into all details regarding the FOTA tools, firmware images, and protocol specifications, this topic walks you step-by-step through the process of performing your first FOTA update. The goal is to provide you a basic hands-on understanding of the RSL FOTA update process, and to ensure that your hardware and software are correctly setup. This topic shows how to:

1.

Generate a FOTA firmware image using the preconfigured blinky_fota sample application. This application is similar to the blinky application with added features to support FOTA updates.

2.

Set up the RSL bootloader and load a firmware image using UART.

3.

Perform a FOTA update using BLE Explorer. Alternatively, a FOTA update can be performed using the mobile application. See RSL FOTA Mobile Application.

This tutorial assumes that you have installed the prerequisites and have the required version of the RSL CMSIS-Pack installed (see the RSL Getting Started Guide for instructions on how to import a CMSIS-Pack).
