Install .update on R/W partition

This will allow you to select an .update file created by the build process and install that onto your target. You are able to use this function to install apps and/or systems. Using the update process to update the Legato runtime with this method will only update the read/write partition and if the system rolls back it will roll back to the previously installed version and it may downgrade your Legato version and roll back your apps.

To prevent this first upgrade the Legato runtime with fwupdate or swiflash to update the read only partition and upgrade the base version of Legato.

For more information on the update processes for your target see Updates
