h1. EC20/EC25 Delta Firmware over the air (DFOTA) upgrades
An example of the DFOTA file is here: http://dfota.quectel-service.com:8088/Dfiles/EC20/EC20EQAR02A05V03-R02A09V02.zip
h2. Start delta upgrade
<pre>

</pre>
It will start an internal connection manager to terminate data on the Linux module and then run wget to store the file to
"update.zip". If it worked a reboot into the recovery system will be made.
h2. Recovery image
It seems that /usr/bin/recovery will be started and finds a update.zip in the right partition and will then apply
the delta updates.
h2. Delta format
Delta updates are available for the bootloader (?), dsp, userdata and system. It is speculated that for the
system and userdata yaffs2 the actual filesystem will be mounted and individual files will be modified.
<pre>
struct upgrade_file_begin {
uint32_t checksum; // ???? different in all of these upgrades
uint32_t __le len; // len.. E.g. 184014 of a 184059 file
... still a lot of 32bit length.. not really TLV
};
struct upgrade_file_trailer {
uint32_t __le len;
char name[len]; with trailing \0
uint32_t null_end (four bytes 0x00)
};
</pre>
h2. Kicking the recovery binary
* mount /dev/mtdblock14 /mnt..
* Place update.zip to /cache/
* echo "IP_START_UPDATE" > /cache/fota/ipth_config_dfs.txt to say what to do
Was difficult to repeat, e.g. creating backup and mounting system partition failed on second/third tries
<pre>
/ # ./strace -o foo.txt -f ./recovery2
mount: mounting none on /sys/kernel/debug failed: Device or resource busy
