We are working on porting the approach presented in http://events.linuxfoundation.org/sites/events/files/slides/OSS_Remote_Firmware_Updates_for_IoT-like_Projects.pdf to the IOT2000. The device side should be a matter of weeks from now on, back-end is a more complex, project-specific topic. We are also trying to make the essential parts OSS, but that's a separate process. There is no concrete plan, though, to integrate those results into the example image. To be discussed, I suppose. Regarding packet vs. image-based updates: Packet-based updates come with the risk of creating an inconsistent and/or untested system state in field devices. Therefore, it is a rather unpopular approach for remotely managed devices where physical servicing is very costly. At least you want to put everything you need to update the base system including its update service itself into a single, tested image. Application and other packages could be managed differently then. |
