Abstract

IoT (Internet of Things) use cases cover all the verticals of industry/organization. From manufacturing unit to building management, from X protocol to Y protocol, from A device to Z device; everywhere it is using. The number of IoT devices is increasing exponentially, especially in remote areas. These devices, which are deployed, need to update also, as the software development process for an IoT device is not a one-time action. Even devices running on a small software needs to be updated with the time for bug fixing or feature addition.“Using more computing to move less data” is the new computing paradigm. Hence, low internet connectivity for large computing scale software updates of such IoT devices must be considered. In this paper, we proposed an implementation of a method that needed low internet connectivity for Firmware Over the Air (FOTA) of embedded devices.
