Abstract

In this article implementation of a system of automatic software updates on embedded device with a single-chip microcontroller was presented. Mechanisms and protocols used in existing solutions working under control of operating systems was analyzed. Necessary optimizations were suggested that allow for implementation of an update mechanism in systems with limited memory resources. Implementations of chosen variants of proposed solutions in the microcontroller with Cortex core were described. Furthermore, this work also emphasizes a question of providing security of automatic software updates, with regard to unauthorized access, as well as resistance to failure of communication network.
