How to ensure reliable OTA updates with FreeRTOS on ESP32 and handle failures?
Hi guys I'm implementing OTA updates for an ESP32 project running FreeRTOS to add new features and security patches. The update process often fails mid-way with the error message "OTA Update Failed: Incomplete Write," leaving the device in an inconsistent state and non-operational. Integrating OTA functionality with existing FreeRTOS tasks causes system instability, with tasks being interrupted during critical operations. How can I ensure seamless and reliable OTA updates on ESP32 with FreeRTOS? What are the best practices for handling failed updates and ensuring a rollback mechanism to maintain system stability?
Solution
For Embedded Linux, I use Mender. I know they are working on integration with ESP32

The “DNA” of Mender has two core ingredients: first, care about connected device security and second, care for the users responsible for device management.
