In our last article, we discussed about how to upgrade the MCU’s firmware with Bluetooth technology. And as you would know, when the data amount of the new firmware is fairly big, it might take a long time for Bluetooth to transfer the data to the MCU.

如何解决这个问题? Wi-Fi is the solution!

为什么? Because even for the best Bluetooth module, the data rate can only reach to about 85KB/s, but when using Wi-Fi technology, the date rate can be increased to 1MB/s! That’s a huge leap, isn’t it?!

If you’ve read our previous article, you might know how to bring this technology to your existing PCBA already! Because the process is very similar to using Bluetooth!

  • Integrate a Wi-Fi module to your existing PCBA.
  • Connect the Wi-Fi module and the MCU via UART.
  • Use the phone/PC to connect to the Wi-Fi module and send the firmware to it
  • MCU使用新固件开始升级.
  • 完成升级.

Very simple, and very efficient!
