Memfault Firmware Update CDN#

Memfault now supports serving firmware update payloads for Android devices using our Bort SDK. These payloads can be large, coming in betweeen 1-3GB.

Because of this, serving these files out AWS S3 directly was too slow. So we now have support for serving these files through a global CDN!

In our tests, devices can see 50MB/s download speeds from the CDN, so your customers should experience quick firmware updates.

For more information, check out our Android OTA documentation.

General Improvements#

  • Add support for filtering by software version for custom metric charts.
  • Errors returned in the form of JSON are now properly formatted.
  • Performance improvements for the Reboot Reason chart in the dashboard.
  • Prevent dates in the future from appearing on Issues.
