Download image

  • Using script *.flash.py.

    After building gets done, python script *.flash.py will generate under build output folder, such as

    • chip-bl602-lighting-example.flash.py for BL602
    • chip-bl702-lighting-example.flash.py for BL702
    • chip-bl702l-lighting-example.flash.py for BL702L

    Download operation steps as below, please check help option of script for more detail.

    • Connect the board to your build machine

    • Put the board to the download mode:

      • Press and hold the BOOT button.
      • Click the RESET or EN button.
      • Release the BOOT button.

    • Type following command for image download. Please set serial port accordingly, here we use /dev/ttyACM0 as a serial port example.

      • BL602DK, BL704LDK and BL706DK.

        ./out/bouffalolab-bl602dk-light/chip-bl602-lighting-example.flash.py --port /dev/ttyACM0
./out/bouffalolab-bl704ldk-light/chip-bl702l-lighting-example.flash.py --port /dev/ttyACM0

Test OTA software upgrade with ota-provider-app

Please take guide for more detail on ota-provider-app build and usage.

Create the Matter OTA image

Bouffalo Lab Matter OTA image contains two parts:

  • Bouffalo Lab OTA bootable image:
    • Add boot parameters, signature/encryption if specified
    • And specify whether image has be compressed.
  • Add Matter recognition header by ota_image_tool.py.

Script *.flash.py builds Bouffalo Lab bootable image and call ota_image_tool.py to add Matter recognition header. Take BL602DK as example.

./out/bouffalolab-bl602dk-light/chip-bl602-lighting-example.flash.py --build-ota --vendor-id <vendor id> --product-id <product id> --version <version> --version-str <version string> --digest-algorithm <digest algorithm>

lighting-app.ota should have greater software version which is defined by macro CHIP_DEVICE_CONFIG_DEVICE_SOFTWARE_VERSION in CHIPProjectConfig.h

Start ota-provider-app

  • Start ota-provider-app for lighting-app.ota

    $ rm -r /tmp/chip_*
$ ./chip-ota-provider-app -f <path_to_ota_bin>/lighting-app.ota

    where <path_to_ota_bin> is the folder for lighting-app.ota.

  • Provision ota-provider-app with assigned node id to 1

    $ ./chip-tool pairing onnetwork 1 20202021
$ ./chip-tool accesscontrol write acl '[{"fabricIndex": 1, "privilege": 5, "authMode": 2, "subjects": [112233], "targets": null}, {"fabricIndex": 1, "privilege": 3, "authMode": 2, "subjects": null, "targets": null}]' 1 0

Start ota software upgrade

  • BLE commission BL602/BL702 lighting if not commissioned.
  • Start OTA software upgrade process
    ./chip-tool otasoftwareupdaterequestor announce-otaprovider 1 0 0 0 <node_id_to_lighting_app> 0
    where <node_id_to_lighting_app> is node id of BL602/BL702 lighting app.
  • After OTA software upgrade gets done, BL602/BL702 will get reboot automatically.
