The software development process for an embedded device is not a one-time action. Even if you have managed to make your code “bug-free”, there are always improvements or new features to add along the way. Nowadays, over-the-air updates provide a secure and reliable way to stay updated with the latest features. This article focuses on WEB-based FOTA and provides highlights on implementation details.

We described in our previous article some general principles of the workflow (what a sprint and backlog mean, who stakeholders and product owner are).
