LONG DISTANCE UPDATING FIRMWARE (OTA) CONNECTED DEVICE
Context
The technology of OTA, or Over-the-air update, is a software enabling the remote distribution and installation of new firmware, new config parameters or new data on a connected remote device. The update is realized by a remote connection such as WI-FI or a cellular network. In the field of the internet of things, this enables you to save time and money since no physical access is required in order to manage a device.
The client wanted a software enabling the remote distribution and installation of new versions of firmware, new config parameters or new data on a connected remote device.
Services offered
Analyze the feasibility of the modification request.
Modify the software to support a file size twice as big.
Modify the software to work through an intermediary TCP/IP connection.
Validate the modification requested.
Support for the updates done on the software.

COACHING
Context
Integrating a new resource requires a significant time investment, especially if technical learning is required in addition to the adaptation time to the new work environment. It is possible that no internal resources are available to accompany the new employee because of the amount of work and skills required.
The client contacted ÉlectroProg to coach a new resource on a technical level in a personalized way in the middle of a project. In particular, the client wanted the new resource to become quickly familiar with:
- The product and its functionalities in depth
- The development platform and the programming language used by the company
- The pieces of code that will be under his responsibility
- The technical content
Services offered
The service was offered through remote work.
The content was defined by the client.
The learning method and the method of transmission have been adapted to the needs and comprehension of the employee.
