This repository provides the UpdateHub agent for Embedded and Industrial Linux-based devices.

The support provided by the UpdateHub for the device includes:

• Bootloader upgrade support (U-Boot and GRUB)
• Flash support (NAND, NOR)
• UBIFS support
• Update package signature validation for security
• Automated rollback in case of update fail
• Conditional installation (content, version and custom pattern support)

To learn more about UpdateHub, check out our documentation.

Building and testing

The UpdateHub agent is developed using Rust programing language due its focus in safety and system level integration. In case you wish to build it, you can:

cargo build --release

Some tests are marked as ignored because they require user previleges. There's a Vagrant file that can be used to run them. To run tests on the virtual machine run:

vagrant up
vagrant ssh

and inside the SSH session, run:

sudo -i
cd /vagrant
cargo test
cargo test -- --ignored
