Wireless monitoring, controlling and firmware upgradation of embedded devices using Wi-Fi

Abstract

This paper presents the design and prototype implementation of new Wi-Fi technology based monitoring and controlling the field equipments or machines using Phone, Tablet Laptop or any desktop pc having Wi-Fi utility with IEEE 802.11b, g and n standards. The boot loader for microcontroller devices is used to upgrade firmware on a target device without the need for an external programmer or debugger. The proposed system is divided into two parts for better implementation; the first part is monitoring & controlling the embedded system (field equipments) or data. Second part is boot loading (Up gradation) of the field equipments using Wi-Fi. It is very easy, reliable, secure, fast and wireless solution.
