Porting FOTA to Your Platform

There is a standard procedure how we handle custom platform runtime requests of Zeeis Firmware Over-the-Air for your platform (hardware device & software operating system):

Step 1 - Free feasibility assessment

To evaluate the technical feasibility of a runtime port to your target platform, we need you to provide the following information:

  • The target platform processor and model number;
  • The target platform memory resources;
  • The target platform operating system name and version number;
  • The target platform graphic environment (GUI) name and version number.

We will evaluate your platform and contact you within three business days, whether we think a port is possible or not. Step 1 is free of charge.

Step 2 - Evaluating Firmware Over-the-Air Demo Version

If we can port Zeeis Firmware Over-the-Air on your platform, we need you to send us a copy of your hardware with the required operating system installed and a copy of the necessary development tools as well as a confirmation that we are allowed to use the software and hardware free of charge for testing and development. We execute a series of tests and try to create an initial library and demo port for you platform, which we will provide to you for test and evaluate (given the initial steps are successful). If you chose to not order the port, we will send back the loan hardware and software immediately.

There is a fixed fee for Step 2. (The fee may be waived under certain conditions)

If you order the port, we will perform the work and finalize the job by running our internal test suite. You will receive the ported material under our licensing contract.
