* Package name : swupdate Version : 2018.03 Upstream Author : Name <sba...@denx.de> * URL : https://github.com/sbabic/swupdate * License : GPL Programming Lang: C, Lua Description : SWUpdate provides a reliable way to update the software on an embedded system SWUpdate is a Linux Update agent with the goal to provide an efficient and safe way to update an embedded system. SWUpdate supports local and remote updates, multiple update strategies It supports the common media on embedded devices such as NOR / NAND flashes, UBI volumes, SD / eMMC, and can be easily extended to introduce project specific update procedures. Pre- and postinstall scripts are supported, and a Lua interpreter helps to customize the update process. An update package is described by the sw-description file, using the libconfig syntax or JSON. It is even possible to use Lua with a custom syntax. Here a short list of the main features: Install on embedded media (eMMC, SD, Raw NAND, NOR and SPI-NOR flashes) Allow delivery single image for multiple devices Multiple interfaces for getting software local storage integrated web server integrated REST client connector to hawkBit remote server download Software delivered as images, gzipped tarball, etc. Allow custom handlers for installing FPGA firmware, microcontroller firmware via custom protocols. Power-Off safe Hardware / Software compatibility. It depends from these packages: libconfig libjson-c libcurl lua I am the author / maintainer of this project, and I provide rules to maintain the package in the sources. Full documentation for the project is here: https://sbabic.github.io/swupdate/index.html Having it in Debian will help people to understand how an update works on embedded system and it can be simply used on debian for ARM.
