**** BEGIN LOGGING AT Tue Sep 27 02:59:56 2022 Sep 27 07:48:00 good morning Sep 27 19:49:36 random thought: is there an yocto-compatible OTA update mechanism that can be installed post-deployment? Only want to update rootfs, not bootloader/kernel. Doesn't need to be bullet proof. Any reasonable solution will be cheaper than having to retrieve and ever single unit from the field and crack them open. I can imagine hacking something together with e.g. rsync, which makes me think that someone else has already done it.... Sep 27 20:07:45 zwelch: A few options: 1) if you have http access, make you package feeds available and run dnf/opkg/apt upgrade 2) rsync the packages across if you don't want/can't have a public package feed Sep 27 20:08:37 (but FWIW, I'm not a package feed expert; we use R/O rootfs that we wholesale replace) Sep 27 20:26:17 i am moving us onto mender, so i'm with you. This only would be for legacy units that I need to support. I thought about a package manager solution, but doesn't that presuppose the original image had the package manager installed? Or can it assume nothing is installed and let the"upgrade" reinstall everything from scratch? Seems plausible... Sep 27 20:28:04 The nice thing about that approach would be that everything I would need is already contained in OE. No new layers/recipes required. Sep 27 20:36:29 zwelch: well mender can also run application-only. Sep 27 20:37:24 zwelch: if you can get the binary and config onto the device, should get you going. **** ENDING LOGGING AT Wed Sep 28 02:59:57 2022
