Updating an Embedded System with SWUpdate Framework - Stefano Babic, DENX Software Engineering Gmbh

Upgrading an embedded system is complex - security, power cut, resources must be taken into account for both local and over-the-air (OTA) updates. SWUpdate is a framework that can be customized to the project's needs. In this presentation, Stefano will list several use cases using this framework and explain in depth, how to set up SWUpdate for each case and how to build the update images with Yocto. As SWUpdate's author, he will summarize the history of the project and present a roadmap for future developments.
