Implementing an FTP server on an STM32 involves integrating the W5500 Ethernet module, ENC28J60 Ethernet controller, SD Card, and SPI Flash. This setup enables efficient network communication and storage, allowing the STM32 to handle file transfers and manage data effectively in embedded systems.
Welcome to the final article in our ESP32 firmware and OTA update management series. Today, we’ll explore using an FTP client to update the firmware and filesystem on an ESP32 device. Join us as we delve into this last technique, equipping you with valuable insights for managing updates on your ESP32 projects.
In this article, we explore a non-standard but effective method for updating ESP32 firmware and filesystem using an SD card. We’ll discuss the advantages, disadvantages, and provide a step-by-step guide for implementing this technique, building on knowledge from previous articles in our firmware management series.
We have already talked about the internal flash memories for rp2040 boards and other microcontrollers, which are very useful for storing pages or static files. However, they are not suitable for logging or similar applications, so we will learn how to connect and use an SD card which can have a lot of space, a very small form factor, and low power consumption.
It’s fundamental for data logging the interfacing with SD cards. STM32 doesn’t support well native SD library, so we will use the SdFat library, which has an Adafruit fork also that we’ll use for other purposes.
When you use a microcontroller an important features is store data, for logging or setting, for a web server or to show image. The better solution is an SD card, because It’s simple, small and low power device.
Now we are going to look how to connect and use with standard SD library with esp32.
I would like to monitor the status of my ABB Aurora inverter (formerly Power One now Fimer). So with a WeMos D1 mini I create a monitoring station with web interface, notifications and more.
Here we will explore the infrastructure of the project.
