Possibility to reprogram nRF9160 using LTE?

[nWre]

Hi Nordic!

I'm using the nRF9160 with a micro sd card so I have a lot of storage. I was wondering if it is possible to retrieve a .hex file and flash it using LTE?

I'm able to retrieve data via FTP and it would be really nice if you could send updates to equipment in a field environment without having to physically be there.

Thank you beforehand

Hi,

There are many options for performing Firmware-over-the-air (FOTA) updates. More information is available on FOTA download.
FiOTA updates can be performed using basic FOTA update, nRF Cloud REST FOTA, AWS FOTA and Azure FOTA.
You can read more on modem firmware updates in HTTP full modem update and HTTP modem delta update.

Best regards,
Dejan

Hey!
That is great to hear! I'm trying out the http application update sample but I'm not able to build it. I read on the forum that long file names might be an issue so I made the ncs folder path and the sample path as short as possible but still get this error:



I'm using the nRF9160DK

Hi,

Have you tried building the application from both VS Code and using west? Which oway of building produces above-mentioned error? Are there any differences in the resulting output?

This is vs code, I have never built using west but I will give it a go

Edit: Yes, building it first with west then allowed me to build it in vs code and use it, thank you dejans!
