You will have to implement a protocol (maybe XMODEM?) to receive the firmware, and store it using the API for writing to the temporary firmware storage space.  I think there's a TFTP sample that might give you a good idea of what's necessary to receive and store the firmware before attempting to install it.

I will build my UI for my project control. however, I want to use serial communication port (like port C,port E or port F) to upgrade my program, I know I can use programming port. but I don't want end user to use it. I need another port for firmware update purpose. I find some examples, but it is through ethernet. In my project, I can't use ethernet, Is it possible to send new firmware to controller via serial port (not programming port)?
