This tutorial walks you through the steps to create a bootloader using MCUboot and update the firmware with the new version.
Additional Details
Features
Operate by Following the Workflow.
QE for OTA supports various tasks required to perform firmware updates on devices, such as embedding security information into the MCU and creating firmware.
・OTA with Cloud
Automates the configuration of various clouds, enabling the creation of initial firmware for OTA, generation of update firmware for OTA targets, uploading to the cloud, and execution of OTA.
・Firmware Update with MCUboot
Allows creation of a bootloader using MCUboot and firmware updates with update firmware.
・Firmware Update for Secondary MCU
Enables firmware updates for a Secondary MCU connected to a Primary MCU via UART.
・Firmware Update Using FWUP FIT/SIS
Supports firmware updates using the RX Family Firmware Update Communication Module Firmware Integration Technology and the RL78/G23 Firmware Update Communication Module.

View for creating firmware for individual IoT devices and starting OTA updates
The [OTA Manage IoT Device (QE)] view, which is used to manage IoT devices, has the following features.
- Creating and downloading a device certificate and security key for each IoT device
- Creating an initial version of firmware (with the source code including IoT-device specific information)
- Support for programming boards with the initial firmware
- Creating firmware updates (with the source code including IoT-device specific information
- Uploading firmware updates to the cloud and starting OTA updates
