FreeRTOS over-the-air update (OTA) now supports new job configurations

Posted on: Jun 15, 2020

Starting today, FreeRTOS offers support for new over-the-air update (OTA) job configurations. Using the job rollout configuration, you can now add all of your IoT devices to the same OTA update job, and update these devices in phases. Using job abort and job execution timeout configurations, you have better control over your OTA update process. Get started by logging into the AWS IoT console, and learn more about the OTA feature here.

FreeRTOS is an MIT licensed open source, real-time operating system for microcontrollers that makes small, low-power edge devices easy to program, deploy, secure, connect, and manage. You can use AWS IoT Device Management with FreeRTOS devices for an integrated OTA update solution. You can download source code from FreeRTOS.org, GitHub, or the FreeRTOS console.
