esp8266 self OTA update firmware from server with version check – 2

OTA (Over the Air) update is uploading firmware to an ESP module using a Wi-Fi connection rather than a serial port. Such functionality becomes extremely useful in case of limited or no physical access to the module.

esp8266 self OTA update firmware from server with version check and HTTPS
esp8266 self OTA update firmware from a server with version check and HTTPS

OTA may be done using:

  • Arduino IDE
  • Web Browser
  • HTTP Server

First of all, read the tutorial “esp8266: flash firmware binary (.bin) compiled and signed“.

This article will explain the OTA update with an automatic REST request that starts the download and flash if the firmware if the version is not updated.

Conditionally OTA (version control) update with REST

For a more complex firmware update system, it is necessary to pass the version to be checked.

    t_httpUpdate_return ret = ESPhttpUpdate.update(client, "192.168.1.70", 3000, "/update", FIRMWARE_VERSION);

The code above expects FIRMWARE_VERSION equal to 0.2.

This call transport a set of information in the header of the call, so if we check the received header by the update GET

app.get('/update', (request, response) => {
    console.log("List of headers", request.headers);
});

we can find these values

host = "192.168.1.70:3000"
user-agent = "ESP8266-http-Update"
connection = "close"
x-esp8266-chip-id = "7667217"
x-esp8266-sta-mac = "50:02:91:74:FE:11"
x-esp8266-ap-mac = "52:02:91:74:FE:11"
x-esp8266-free-space = "1716224"
x-esp8266-sketch-size = "380144"
x-esp8266-sketch-md5 = "43bc6ba7925555d32aca7222f731c0d9"
x-esp8266-chip-size = "4194304"
x-esp8266-sdk-version = "2.2.2-dev(38a443e)"
x-esp8266-mode = "sketch"
x-esp8266-version = "0.2"
content-length = "0"

In this case, we check only the, but some information like free space and SDK version can be very useful.

Update end point with version control

Now let’s add an updated endpoint with version management

const express = require('express');
const { networkInterfaces } = require('os');
const path = require('path');

const app = express();
const nets = networkInterfaces();

// Server port
const PORT = 3000;

app.get('/', (request, response) => response.send('Hello from www.mischianti.org!'));

let downloadCounter = 1;
const LAST_VERSION = 0.3;
app.get('/update', (request, response) => {
    const version = (request.header("x-esp8266-version"))?parseFloat(request.header("x-esp8266-version")):Infinity;

    if (version<LAST_VERSION){
        // If you need an update go here
        response.status(200).download(path.join(__dirname, 'firmware/httpUpdateNew.bin'), 'httpUpdateNew.bin', (err)=>{
            if (err) {
                console.error("Problem on download firmware: ", err)
            }else{
                downloadCounter++;
            }
        });
        console.log('Your file has been downloaded '+downloadCounter+' times!')
    }else{
        response.status(304).send('No update needed!')
    }
});


app.listen(PORT, () => {
    const results = {}; // Or just '{}', an empty object

    for (const name of Object.keys(nets)) {
        for (const net of nets[name]) {
            // Skip over non-IPv4 and internal (i.e. 127.0.0.1) addresses
            if (net.family === 'IPv4' && !net.internal) {
                if (!results[name]) {
                    results[name] = [];
                }
                results[name].push(net.address);
            }
        }
    }

    console.log('Listening on port '+PORT+'\n', results)
});

Now we generate a new compiled binary file with version 0.3 and put It on the server

Conditionally FileSystem OTA (version control) update with REST

In the same manner, we can manage filesystem updates. We are going fast now because It’s the same firmware update logic.

Generate FileSystem binary file

To manage the filesystem, we can use the same way, but first, you must read one of the following guides:

WeMos D1 mini (esp8266), integrated SPIFFS Filesystem (deprecated)

WeMos D1 mini (esp8266), integrated LittleFS Filesystem (recommended)

Now we are going to add data directory to the sketch folder, and we create a file version.txt with this content

0.2

and use the plugin to upload.

esp8266 LittleFS plugin menu on ArduinoIDE
esp8266 LittleFS plugin menu on ArduinoIDE

In the console, we find the right command to generate this file.

            }else{
                downloadCounter++;
            }
        });
        console.log('Your file has been downloaded '+downloadCounter+' times!')
    }else{
        response.status(304).send('No update needed!')
    }
});

let downloadFSCounter = 1;
const LAST_FS_VERSION = 0.3;
app.get('/updateFS', (request, response) => {
    const version = (request.header("x-esp8266-version"))?parseFloat(request.header("x-esp8266-version")):Infinity;

    if (version<LAST_FS_VERSION){
        // If you need an update go here
        response.status(200).download(path.join(__dirname, 'filesystem/httpUpdateNewFS.bin'), 'httpUpdateNewFS.bin', (err)=>{
            if (err) {
                console.error("Problem on download filesystem: ", err)
            }else{
                downloadFSCounter++;
            }
        });
        console.log('Your file FS has been downloaded '+downloadFSCounter+' times!')
    }else{
        response.status(304).send('No FS update needed!')
    }
});

app.listen(PORT, () => {
    const results = {}; // Or just '{}', an empty object

    for (const name of Object.keys(nets)) {
        for (const net of nets[name]) {
            // Skip over non-IPv4 and internal (i.e. 127.0.0.1) addresses
            if (net.family === 'IPv4' && !net.internal) {
                if (!results[name]) {
                    results[name] = [];
                }
                results[name].push(net.address);
            }
        }
    }

    console.log('Listening on port '+PORT+'\n', results)
});

Now we are going to modify the file version.txt with version 0.2 then upload to the device

  1. In OTAServer create the folder filesystem,
  2. Change version to 0.3 in version.txt, regenerate without upload, and copy the file ArduinoOTAesp8266_fs_update.mklittlefs.bin to the folder
  3. Rename in httpUpdateNewFS.bin.

The result in serial output becomes like so.

    Hello Renzo.
    Can I update firmware from a folder on an internet website, instead of using a local server ?
    In case I can, I just upload it ?
    Yo did an excellent work !
    Best regards, Gabriel

      Hi Gabriel,
      you can use an internet website, but you must use a protocol to transfer the file like HTTP, or better HTTPS.
      You must create a server (simple web server like NGINX) or you can use a hosting that offers apache or similar.
      Bye Renzo
