OTA Update over serial communication

[Monika_02]

Hi,

I am working on OTA update over serial port communication(UART) How can I achieve this?  How can I trigger the bootloader and download, install the firmware update.  As I am using stm32H563zi.  Can I get any reference for the above scenario.

Thanks in advance.

You can jump to the bootloader and use the UART bootloader, if you are connected to pins supported by that function. See AN2606 for pins. STM32CubeProgrammer can connect to a chip in such a state using the commands seen in AN3155, or you can implement your own solution.

For most OTA you need to manage the AIR and the PROCESS, the System Loader in ROM permits ISP (In-System Programming) where as IAP (In-Application Programming) is probably what you need to manage the interaction in a more controlled, and user-specific/centric manner.

Various IAP examples exist across the STM32 Universe, see various CubeF4/ F7 / etc repositories. IAP on Serial often using Y-MODEM
