A comparison of Over-the-Air Update approaches for the ESP32 and ESP8266 Development Boards

Abstract

This bachelor thesis goal is to research and test different over-the-air update opportunities with ESP32 and ESP8266 based Wi-Fi development boards. Nowadays, there are more In-ternet of Things devices, so there is a need to update these. The reason for that can either be a security flaw or a bug that needs to be fixed for the device to work. Over-the-air update allows to make changes fast and in remote locations where humans have no physical access. This thesis tests different frameworks and two separate generation development boards.
