Delivering software in advance
Before performing a firmware update, you can deliver the required software packages in a separate step. Only after the software deployment has been reported as successful on all relevant devices, start the installation by using an Update command or notification.
-
Clients are provided with an update partition, see eLux partitions
-
Firmware device configuration of the relevant devices must be configured correctly, see Planning firmware updates
The software delivery can be triggered by a Scout command or a notification.
During delivery, a live information icon
is shown on the system bar.
The subsequent installation of the software packages and the update to the new IDF is initiated with an update command or an update notification.
Note:
If you initiate the subsequent firmware update via an Update command with Format system partition, the system might have to download additional packages. This is because a Delivery command only triggers the download of packages that are not installed on the system partition and are not available on the update partition.
