Updating Firmware on a Device
IoT Platform enables you to manage the updating of firmware on your devices.
To do so, firmware files must first be uploaded to the IoT Platform server for a specific Product, as described in Managing Device Firmware. These firmware files are then available to be loaded onto the Devices belonging to that Product. You can only update Device firmware for one Device at a time.
In order to update a Device’s firmware version, the IoT Platform SDK must be installed on that Device.
