Open Software Updates for IoT - Phil Wise, ATS Advanced Telematic Systems GmbH

IoT platforms need software updates. Over-the-air software updates should not lock you into a proprietary SaaS vendor; they should be bullet-proof and they should be incremental.

There are not many solutions that achieve all of these together. 

In this talk Phil Wise will demonstrate how to use the 'meta-sota' Yocto layer to take a stock Poky image and make it remotely updatable.

This talk will discuss the differences between package-based updates like RPM and full-image updates, and then go on to explain how OSTree offers good balance of features between the two.

After this talk you will be able to OTA enable your Linux IoT device.
