This application displays the list of available firmwares on the server and provides a firmware upload mechanism.
OTA Server requires Python 3 (>= 3.4) and can be installed with pip. So you have to install pip for Python 3:
$ wget -qO - https://bootstrap.pypa.io/get-pip.py | sudo python3
First clone this repository:
$ git clone https://github.com/aabadie/ota-server.git
Then install OTA server:
$ cd ota-server
$ sudo pip install .
Finally install the Node modules required (you need to install npm first):
$ cd ota-server/otaserver/static
$ npm install
Start the server using --static-path to indicate where the html and css files
are located. They should normally be in ota-server/ota-server/static if you
followed the installation steps:
$ ota-server --static-path=<ota-server>/otaserver/static
The web application is available at http://localhost:8080
Notes:
- Use
--debugoption if you want more output from the application. - Use
--coap-portoption to use another port for the CoAP server (5683 is the default).
The firmwares name should match the following pattern:
<filename>-<major version>.<minor version>.<patch version>.elf
Any file uploaded that doesn't match this pattern is ignored.
The uploaded firmwares are uploaded in the following directory:
<ota-server>/otaserver/static/uploads
To get the version of the latest firmware available, use a CoAP client on
version resource. Example with libcoap:
coap-client -m get coap://[server ip]/version
