PyBytes OTA ?

[timh]

Finally got around to testing pybytes, and got it working on GPY.
My interest is in OTA, but that doesn't appear to be implemented as yet.

Am I missing something or is that feature yet to be rolled out ?

For me OTA is the only value add that pybytes brings to the table. We use Losant (MQTT) across a range of devices, so don't need another visualisation/data platform, but do need a OTA solution for pycom devices.

Thanks

Hi,

Any news on an update for this? We also are looking to widely deploy Pycom's but this looks like it could be a roadblock for us.

@jirkakrepl thanks for the update.

Unfortunately 6 months away is a very long time to wait ;-(

Given that, Zerynth may be a better path for us given our timelines.

@timh Hello, it's on our roadmap. We expect to be delivered at the beginning of Q2 2019

@timh new Pybytes firmware will be released soon with support for cellular

@jirkakrepl its been some time, since your last update. Do you have an ETA for CAT-M1 PyBytes OTA upgrades ?

This is probably the main hold up for us on widely deploying PyCOM's.

Thanks

@tealbrains Hi,
we removed checkbox for cat-m1 because there was no implementation done, it wasn't working.
But now we started with the development of cat-m1 connections.

@mariano @timh Any news? I see some changes were made to Pybytes. We can no longer select Cat-M1 as the preferred method. The only value I see in Pybytes is OTA and firmware management. If this is not available for Cat-M1 enabled devices we won't be using it.

Hi Tim, thanks for the feedback!
We should launch this feature in the next few days!
Users will be able to access the flash folder, edit "main.py" and push the modifications to their devices.
Stay tuned!

Cheers,
