Redundancy
In case of data loss or corruption, your device stores multiple copies of the configuration and can fall back to the
last good copy.
Wear Leveling
Wear leveling writes across the entire flash sector and skips bad sections on write failure. Frequently saved session
parameters have more flash space available to extend the expected life of the flash system on your device.
Differential and Compressed Upgrade Files
Differenital and compressed upgrade files can be used to reduce the size of firmware upgrades sent over-the-air
(FOTA). Smaller files reduce the time required to deliver an update. Smaller FOTA sessions increase end-device
battery life.
Creating Differential and Compressed Files
To package application firmware binaries for Dot devices with compression or deltas, use the mtsmultitool utility.
The output is a binary file that can be sent to the bootloader over serial YMODEM or FOTA.
For more details on the utility, see: https://pypi.org/project/mtsmultitool/ .
The utility requries Python v3.8 installed. To install the utility, open a command prompt and enter: pip install
mtsmultitool
