Introduction

Quectel EP06&EG06&EM06 modules support DFOTA (Delta Firmware Upgrade Over-the-air) function,

which allows customers to upgrade the firmware over the air. It can upgrade the firmware to a new version

and revert to the old version as well.

Before firmware upgrading, customers only need to prepare the firmware package which contains the

differences between the original and target firmware versions. This reduces the amount of data

transmitted and accelerates the speed of firmware upgrade.

This document is applicable to Quectel EP06&EG06&EM06 modules.
