Two quarries :-

   

1. I have found on http://www.cypress.com/procble/  that "Support for Over-the-Air (OTA) Firmware Upgrades", I didn't find any doc / app-note regarding implementation of this (Or example project). Can someone help me.

   

2. Does PRoC support bootloder? if yes : App-note "AN73854" and " AN68272" gives bootloader procedure for PSoC,  will this also applicable for PRoC?

Thanks Bob,

   

It seems that “Cypress BLE Dongle” is mendatory. Can this be done by Cypress BLE app on smartphone?

   

What I mean is that if remote ble needed to be upgrade then I have to place "BLE Dongle" near.

   

I am thinking that Cypress BLE should take *.cyacd file and update PRoC. Is it possible?

The file to transfer will be the .hex-file and the .ELF for linking information. A protocol is needed to maintain that.

   

All that is contained in the bootloader and bootloadable component. When you like to update directly from an alien BLE-device you will have to provide the Bootloader Host program yourself that communicates to the BootLoader component.

Hi everyone, I have a PSoC5LP and a GSM communication in a board, wich is the best option to make OTA by the GSM network?, can the PSoC5 with a dual_image bootloader store the .hex file in a external memory and make the bootloader for itself or need always a external uC like host bootloader to make it?
