Hi Qualcomm Team:

i use OTA in HTTP .

now i have problem.

if i "fw_upgrade.xml" have use ioe_ram_m0_threadx_ipt.mbn. OTA success, but File-system will be deleted.

<fw_upgrade_img_descriptor>
      <!-- format: 1: partial upgrade, 2: full upgrade in one file -->
      <header signature="0x54445746" version="1" format="2"/>
      <partition filename="" signature="0x54445746" image_id="5" ver="1" size_in_kb="4" HASH_TYPE="1"/>
     <partition filename="Quartz_HASHED.elf" signature="0x54445746" image_id="10" ver="1" size_in_kb="4" HASH_TYPE="1"/>
    <partition filename="ioe_ram_m0_threadx_ipt.mbn" signature="0x54445746" image_id="11" ver="1" size_in_kb="16" HASH_TYPE="1"/>
   <partition filename="wlan_fw_img.bin" signature="0x54445746" image_id="13" ver="1" size_in_kb="0" HASH_TYPE="1"/>
</fw_upgrade_img_descriptor>

if i just only use Quartz_HASHED.elf, i OTA success, but it not can "trial" success, it show "Fail to Accept Trial FWD".

<fw_upgrade_img_descriptor>
      <!-- format: 1: partial upgrade, 2: full upgrade in one file -->
      <header signature="0x54445746" version="1" format="2"/>
     <partition filename="Quartz_HASHED299.elf" signature="0x54445746" image_id="10" ver="1" size_in_kb="4" HASH_TYPE="1"/>

 

</fw_upgrade_img_descriptor>

What can I do to really make the application image OTA successful?

 

Best Regards,

Rick.

In case 1: Make sure you kept FS2IMG=KEEP, such that FS2 will be retained even after OTA UPGRADE, by default it is set to "ERASE".
In case 2: Can you provide us the instructions how you tried to perform the OTA, default flag for HTTP OTA is AUTO_REBOOT .

Kindly provide us the "FwUp fwd" and make sure you have enough memory by deleting the additional fwd before performing upgrade.

​By default  QCLI_demo HTTP OTA demo uses "QAPI_FW_UPGRADE_FLAG_AUTO_REBOOT"

In order to use HTTP OTA upgrade and retain your file system data, you need to set the FLAG as "QAPI_FW_UPGRADE_FLAG_DUPLICATE_ACTIVE_FS".

​Modify @target/quartz/demo/QCLI_demo/src/ota/ota_demo.c .
​Under Command_Fw_Upgrade_HTTP_Upgrade , modify and set the flags as suggested above.

Build and flash the image.
Perform the HTTP OTA now and you should be able to restore your file system data:
After "Firmware Upgrade Image Download Completed Successfully" reset the device and you should be accept the trial image.

I have verifed the above setup and its working as expected, ​let me know if you face any issues.
