Greetings,
Is it possible to "upload" new programs to an Adafruit Metro M4 Express AirLift (WiFi) through the Arduino IDE program via WiFi - as opposed to being connected to the USB port with a physical cable?
Thanks for any insight,
Adafruit Metro M4 Express AirLift (WiFi)

Re: Adafruit Metro M4 Express AirLift (WiFi)
Adafruit does not provide any utilities to update a sketch OTA (Over the Air) via WiFi or BLE as of now.
There are some third parties that are starting to do it such as Arduino IoT OTA.

I've often needed this functionality and my solution has been to use a Pi Zero for network access and run the microcontroller off the Pi's USB port. Then use arduino-cli for remote access to update code and have a serial console to the microcontroller. In some ways this is a easier solution as the Pi is much more robust for network access and uploading code.
I too look forward to the day of ubiquitous OTA updates.
