Updates

The Legato Application Framework is designed to solve many difficult problems surrounding updating software on devices operating in the field:

  • Atomic update of libraries, executables, resource files, and configuration settings.
  • Autonomous recovery from failed update attempts (e.g., due to power loss or connection loss).
  • Autonomous roll-back when newly updated software fails.
  • Reduce flash consumption by sharing read-only app files that are the same in different software versions.

Legato's primary Update Process uses update pack files that contain all software/firmware update instructions and associated data (e.g., libraries, executables, resource files).

Legato supports AirVantage Connector to remotely update target devices in the field.

There's also a fwupdate target tool available.
