-
URI: git://git.openembedded.org/bitbake
- branch: master
- revision: HEAD
-
URI: git://git.openembedded.org/openembedded-core
- branch: master

or
- URI: git://git.yoctoproject.org/poky
- branch: master
- revision: HEAD
and
- URI: git://github.com/sbabic/meta-swupdate.git

- branch: master
- revision: HEAD
Usage
The layer contains examples on how to use the SWUpdate project. Examples on how to deploy a "dual-copy" update strategy with some common boards (Beaglebone Black, Raspberry Pi, Sama5d27-som1-ek-sd and Wandboard) are provided.
Setup your environment accordingly and update MACHINE to desired target.
To build simply run:
bitbake update-image
Above will generate a swu file suitable for usage with SWUpdate on
your device.
Note that update-image depends on ext4.gz and you must make sure
that it is part of IMAGE_FSTYPES.
For usage with Raspberry Pi one must add the following to local.conf
RPI_USE_U_BOOT = "1"
Above will enable U-boot which Raspberry Pi does not default to, and instead boots straight to Linux. U-boot is required to do the "swapping" of partitions in the "dual-copy" layout.
