Hi

I am using SDK 3.1.2 and BCM9WCDPLUS114 EVB (without external SPI flash).

from reference ota_fr readme and WICED-Application-Framework-April-2013.pdf, it mentioned the production APP and DCT store in internal flash. frApp, frDCT and OTAApp store in external flash.

Since PLUS114 only internal flash, I would like to try download ota_fr to internal flash as my productionAPP then upgrade new app overwrite the ota_fr. but if the new app size over 500KB the OTA will fail and never boot up.

it seems OTA server keep the ota_fr code and write newAPP to other location not overwrite the ota_fr.

test in my side.

1. build snip.ota_fr-BCM9WCDPLUS114 download run

2. into OTA webpage

3. upgrade snip_apsta-BCM9WCDPLUS114.stripped.elf (file size 484KB) to EVB

4. upgrade success, and board restart to apsta example

5. re-do step1

6. upgrade test_console-BCM9WCDPLUS114.stripped.elf ( 580KB) to EVB

7. console shows no error and "Restarting.." but board never boot up

Thanks,

Sharn
