Internet of Things (IoT) has emerged for over a past few years and has been a substantial deployment on multiple architectures, standards, and platforms. Despite the heterogeneity of the devices, it must provide open access for the development of the existing firmware. This firmware must be kept in constant development to remove bugs and improve functionality. An over-the-air firmware update system is preferable as it allows for faster update and encourage accessibility for the development. This paper introduces a novel over-the-air (OTA) firmware update system based on the Lightweight mesh network protocol providing a low-power mesh protocol, route discovery and establishment. Based on the investigation results, we demonstrate that OTA firmware update system gives fast update and easy accessibility and thus effective and beneficial for further use, i.e. smart urban development.
