OTA done badly bricks devices. The download fails halfway and leaves a corrupt image. The signature is not verified and a malicious image installs. The atomic swap is not atomic and a power loss mid-flash leaves the device unbootable. The rollback path does not exist and a bad firmware spreads across the fleet before anyone notices.
The /volt-ota skill builds the OTA system with the safety properties firmware updates need: dual-partition A/B storage so the new image is written to the inactive bank, signature verification before the swap, resumable download so connection loss does not corrupt the image, atomic partition swap, and automatic rollback if the new firmware fails to boot or fails its self-check.
What the OTA system includes
Five layers. A/B partition manager. Signature verification (ECDSA or RSA, with the public key burned into the bootloader). Resumable download with chunk verification. Atomic swap on boot. Rollback timer: if the new firmware does not check in within N boots, fall back to the previous image.
