esp32FOTA library for Arduino

Purpose

A simple library to add support for Over-The-Air (OTA) updates to your project.

Features

Web update (requires web server)
Batch firmware sync
Force firmware update issues 8
Multi firmware update record
Stream update (e.g. MQTT or other)
Checking for update via bin headers issue 15

How it works

This library tries to access a JSON file hosted on a webserver, and reviews it to decide if a newer firmware has been published, if so it will download it and install it.

There are a few things that need to be in place for an update to work.

A webserver with the firmware information in a JSON file
Firmware version
Firmware type
Firmware bin

Usage

Hosted JSON

This is hosted by a webserver and contains information about the latest firmware

{
    "type": "esp32-fota-http",
    "version": 2,
    "host": "192.168.0.100",
    "port": 80,
    "bin": "/fota/esp32-fota-http-2.bin"
}

Firmware types

Types are used to compare with the current loaded firmware, this is used to make sure that when loaded, the device will still do the intended job.

As an example, a device used as a data logger should ony be updated with new versions of the data logger.

examples

TTGO-T8-ESP32-Logger
TTGO-T8-ESP32-Temp
TTGO-T8-ESP32-Relay

Sketch

In this example a version 1 of 'esp32-fota-http' is in use, it would be updated when using the JSON example.

#include <esp32fota.h>
#include <WiFi.h>

const char *ssid = "";
const char *password = "";

esp32FOTA esp32FOTA("esp32-fota-http", 1);

void setup()
{
  esp32FOTA.checkURL = "http://server/fota/fota.json";
  Serial.begin(115200);
  setup_wifi();
}

void setup_wifi()
{
  delay(10);
  Serial.print("Connecting to ");
  WiFi.begin(ssid, password);
  while (WiFi.status() != WL_CONNECTED)
  {
    delay(500);
    Serial.print(".");
  }
}

void loop()
{
  bool updatedNeeded = esp32FOTA.execHTTPcheck();
  if (updatedNeeded)
  {
    esp32FOTA.execOTA();
  }
  delay(2000);
}
