We have published a White Paper on The Hidden Costs of Homegrown Updaters to help everyone understand the range of costs to build a feature-complete software update mechanism for your IoT devices.

We have also published a Requirements Checklist for OTA Updaters which provides a comprehensive overview of what an OTA solution should have. 3d453bd7041c49840ce6869aab919cdd0dea81fb-software-updates-for-iot-3@803 (1) We hope the community find these helpful!
