The specialization provides a structured learning journey for embedded systems developers, IoT engineers, and firmware engineers to master secure firmware-over-the-air (FOTA) updates. The first course in the path introduces core concepts such as AWS cloud services, SSL/TLS protocols, and system architecture, laying a strong conceptual foundation for secure OTA workflows. The next stage focuses on embedded firmware development, covering STM32 and ESP32 integration, driver development, and secure communication protocols.
The final course in this specialization delves into system-level integration, connecting flash memory programming, bootloader logic, and AWS-based firmware delivery. Through these steps, learners build practical competence in designing, implementing, and securing FOTA solutions for embedded systems. This specialization is based on the course, Secure Firmware OTA Update with AWS: SSL/TLS Connection, by Israel Gbati.
