1Introduction

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.

EP06&EG06&EM06_DFOTA_User_Guide 7 / 16

As shown in the above figure, customers only need to perform the following steps to upgrade the

firmware.

Step 1: Get the delta firmware package from Quectel.

Step 2: Put the delta firmware on FTP/HTTP(S) server.

Step 3: Execute AT+QFOTADL command. Then the module will automatically download the package

from FTP/HTTP(S) server via LTE/WCDMA network (Step 4) and finally automatically upgrade

the module’s firmware (Step 5).

2.1. Get Delta Firmware Package

Before upgrading, customers need to check the current firmware version (the original version) by

executing ATI command, and also need to know the target firmware version. Then the two firmware

versions should be provided for Quectel or the module supplier in order to get the delta firmware package.

2.2. Put Delta Package on FTP/HTTP(S) Server

When using the DFOTA function, customers need to set up an FTP/HTTP(S) server by themselves, for

Quectel does not provide such a server. Then please put the delta firmware package on the server, and

record the FTP/HTTP(S) path. The module will get the delta package from the path after executing

correspondingAT command.

2.3. Execute AT Command to Upgrade the Firmware

After putting the delta firmware package on the FTP/HTTP(S) server, customers need to execute

AT+QFOTADL command. Then the module will download the firmware package from the FTP/HTTP(S)

server over the air and upgrade the firmware automatically. For more details, please refer to Chapter 3.

3Description of DFOTA AT Commands

AT+QFOTADL command enables automatic firmware upgrade for the module via DFOTA. After executing

the command, the module will automatically download the package from FTP/HTTP(S) server, reboot

automatically and then enter into recovery mode. When the upgrade package is checked OK and the

firmware upgrade is successful, the module will reboot and enter into normal mode.

3.1. AT+QFOTADL=<ftpURL> Upgrade Firmware When Delta Package is

Stored on an FTP Server

If the delta firmware package is stored on an FTP server, AT+QFOTADL=<ftpURL> should be executed to

enable automatic firmware upgrade via DFOTA. Then the module will download the delta package from

the FTP server over the air and upgrade the firmware automatically.

Example

//Upgrade the firmware when the delta firmware package is stored on an FTP server.

//The FTP server address is “ftp://test:test@124.74.41.170:21/Jun/update-v12-to-v13.zip".

//Execute AT+QFOTADL command to enable automatic firmware upgrade via DFOTA, and then the

module will start to download the delta package and upgrade firmware automatically.

AT+QFOTADL="ftp://test:test@124.74.41.170:21/Jun/update-v12-to-v13.zip"

+QIND: "FOTA","FTPSTART" //Start to download the delta package from the FTP server.

+QIND: "FOTA","FTPEND",0 //Finish downloading the delta package.

//The module will reboot automatically and the USB port will be re-initialized. If the current port is USB port,

then the MCU should close and reopen it.

+QIND: "FOTA","START" //Start to upgrade the firmware.

+QIND: "FOTA","UPDATING",1

+QIND: "FOTA","UPDATING",2

...

+QIND: "FOTA","UPDATING",100

+QIND: "FOTA","END",0 //The firmware is upgraded successfully.

<ftpURL> String type. The URL of the FTP server. The maximum length is 255 bytes. It
