OTA bootloader Updates for RP2350s

Do you support Notecard Outboard Firmware Update for RP2350-based hosts? If not, what is the recommended approach for OTA firmware updates on an RP2354A host using the NoteCard?

Hey @bkauf,

We don’t support it out of the box like we do with ESP32- and STM32-based hosts, but if you use MCUboot it could be possible.

What is your firmware written with? That’ll help us know whether MCUboot is an option or not.

Hello, the firmware is micropython.

Ok. In that case Notecard Outboard Firmware Update probably isn’t an option, as it requires some sort of boot/update integration on the host side.

There are ways you could do some degree of firmware updating, but they’re all going to be manual and non trivial. This older forum post talks through the approach that I think is most sane. It should be possible, but we unfortunately don’t have any examples and haven’t tried it ourselves.
