I’m Donatien, co-founder of Blecon, where we provide device connectivity to the Internet using only Bluetooth. In my previous lives working in the IoT division at Arm and my previous start-up, our teams constantly wrestled with debugging firmware bugs on remote devices.

Firmware update capability has become a must-have for most devices. Whether to add new features after launch, fix bugs, or urgently patch a security hole, firmware updates gives modern teams the flexibility they need to move fast and react to a changing environment. I’ve written at length about firmware updates in the past, including on Interrupt with a Firmware Update Cookbook and a post about code signing, and even recorded a webinar on the topic.
