Hello
I have 2 boards connected to each other using Modbus
The master board is connected to the internet using Ethernet
I can ota the master board using the http_ota example
Is there a way to perform ota for the slave board through master board since slave board has no access to internet?
OTA for slave MODBUS
Re: OTA for slave MODBUS
Hi,
I'm using UART or TCP communication to update slave ESP32 MCU. All you have to do is use these steps:
Begin update with:
Then write data to partition:
End then finish update with:
I think the source partition can be read in a similar way to ota write. But maybe it better is to read flash to most send unused empty space after firmware.

Begin update with:
Code: Select all
static esp_ota_handle_t update_handle = 0;
static const esp_partition_t *update_partition = NULL;
...
update_partition = esp_ota_get_next_update_partition(NULL);
esp_ota_begin(update_partition, OTA_SIZE_UNKNOWN, &update_handle);
Code: Select all
esp_ota_write(update_handle, (const void *)buff, len);
Code: Select all
if (esp_ota_end(update_handle) != ESP_OK)
{
ESP_LOGE(TAG, "esp_ota_end failed!");
return;
}
err = esp_ota_set_boot_partition(update_partition);
if (err != ESP_OK)
{
ESP_LOGE(TAG, "esp_ota_set_boot_partition failed! err=0x%x", err);
return;
}

Thank you, will test that. The code is on the receiving end, how about the sending end?marbalon wrote: ↑Thu Jun 23, 2022 12:50 pmHi,

I get the fw using http ota library already provided by esp32
Re: OTA for slave MODBUS
If you haev toe hsame firmware in two boards you can use esp_partition_read() to get data from first device and send it to second one. If the firmware is different you can use bin files embedded into the firmware of the first/master device.
