Firmware Multiplicity

In IoT, it is obvious that there is a network of heterogeneous devices. You can think about

those devices that log humidity and temperature data on the supply chain for transportation of

products via a freight container. Consider a device with firmware version 1 that describes the

container id, device id, temperature details, and the firmware version.

When these devices are deployed in a large amount, it is possible that an updated

firmware

revision is forwarded. The firmware version 2 may include new sensors such as Compass,

Gyroscope, and Accelerometer that are used to determine pitch, yaw, and roll so it can be

identified ...
