Hello
I am using a SODAQ Sara 412 AFF board. The ublox chip can be updatedd over the air, using proper AT commands.
However, Id like to know, if there are ways to implemented my software, that runs on the SAMD21 chip, (takes gps updates and saves in an SD card) over the air as well
Thank you.
Hi , i think you can use the arduinoota library as written in this post:https://forum.arduino.cc/index.php?topic=664694.0
is in italian but there is a sample sketch that show how it work.it’s the same samd chip so it should work.
if it work it will be usefull an update because i’m doing the same with arduino hardware but i will switch to sodaq for industrial version of my concept
Thank you.
i have tried to use the SDU library.
But the SDU libray fails with unknown chip error.
So I tried to force
#include "boot/mzero.h"
and
#include "boot/zero.h"
Neither works - what can be done in this case?
So, here is the update.
I have tested and tested with all possible combinations in the SDU.cpp file.
I had success with MKR1010.h - but only 2 times out of 26 tests.
What can be done.
How does the Community do OTA Updates?
Hi
You can use the WiFi101OTA library with some modifications to implement OTA for SAMD21.
in order to do that, i need to use the SDU library.
The SDU library complains :
“error unsupported board”
I rebuild the boot/xxxxxx.h files, using the build.sh file under extras. Unfortunately, I still dont see any update. Forcing the SDU library to choose ARDUINO_SAMD_ZERO , for example does not work.
Here is my Sketch :

The UPDATE.BIN file is in the SD card. The server communication is still in the sketch - but not implemented currently. The arduino compiler produced one file with bootloader, and one without. I tested both. The Chip select pin in the SDUBoot.ino has been updated.
But, the system does NOT pick up the new firmware. Please help.
Hi,
If you want SODAQ to implement the OTA service for you, please contact sales@sodaq.com
We can do projects to implement OTA services. We will then also provide a dashboard to manage all your devices.
We cannot share the source code of our OTA implementation.
Best regards,
Jan
