Does CSR1012 need an external non-volatile memory for this application?

Question

I am building a IoT device in which data is fed from I2C to CSR1012 BLE IC and the CSR1012 then transmits the data. CSR1012 is programmed as a master MCU.

I need over-the-air update capability to push any future firmware update on this device. I am not clear on whether or not I need an external non-volatile memory like EEPROM or I2C flash to make implement over-the-air firmware update feature.

This is just to ensure that if i need to push firmware updates, I do not need to physically connect these devices to a computer.

When devices come with FOTA (Firmware over the air) than you don't have to add anything externally.

Can you please explain in detail? The CSR1012 schematics always seem to show an external EEPROM or flash to enable OTA. – xyztg Mar 25 '21 at 18:01
Then this BLE transceiver needs external storage for FOTA. – Enrico Migliore Mar 25 '21 at 18:19
