1 Introduction
To b e g i n w i t h

Bugs or security issues are usually detected after

deployment

the average bug frequency is estimated to be between “15

and 50 per 1000 lines of delivered code.”

Updating firmware of embedded devices usually

requires physical connections
1 Introduction
To b e g i n w i t h

To ensure the configuration, control and monitoring of

smart devices, it is necessary to include a wireless method
of data transfer or transaction, using the mobile network
instead

Engineers have introduced the concept of the over the air

updates to meet the requirements of the smart devices

 This presentation will explain the challenge we faced, the

solution we developed, its the key features, and how we
validated our results.

Where and when

01 OTA appearance

OTA over the air is a revoltionary concept introduced earlier this century
that aims to update firmware or software wirelessly
eleminating the need of the manual interventions we spoke about
earlier.

OTA became more viral in 2010s with the rise of the smart devices and
connectected objects

The challenge

Nowadays, Software are becoming greedy, complex and written in

bigger lines of code. As a result, it is now inevitable, normal and even
expected to have bugs in the code:

As a result, testing has became exhausting and painful considering that

the sold device is uncontrollable.

 The challenge will rise when we aim to develop a solution to keep

our sold devices in sync, and updated. Add features

The OTA is the answer

2 Quectel M95

Instructions are sent to the our module in the form of AT

commands.

The command set consists of a series of short text strings

which can be combined to produce commands for operations

The commands shall be sent via UART protocol
