Firmware update over the Air - uFOTA
Definition
uFOTA is a u-blox solution to a managed and automated FOTA service based on WM2M protocol.
This service uses campaigns to manage the upgrading of multiple modules from one firmware version to another one.
Firmware Update
Functional overview
When the module powers up for the very first time (factory-programmed condition) after the module is attached to a cellular network, the LwM2M client starts and registers to the uFOTA server. The LwM2M client will then subsequently check the uFOTA server upon the expiration of the Server Registration Life Timer (SRLT).

3. Test campaign: Before all the modules in the campaign will be updated via uFOTA, it is strongly suggested to perform stronglsuggested performingrm a test campaign first. This test campaign will verify the host is working for uFOTA and that the network/deployment is adequate for the uFOTA download & update.
4. Final campaign: If the test campaign is successful, u-blox will provide a report back to the customer. If the user is satisfied with the test campaign, the final campaign can start. The u-blox service team will monitor the uFOTA progress and provide a report once finished.
