We should consider adding it to OE-Core. Here is his email: 2013/11/21 Stefano Babic <sbabic@denx.de> Hi everybody, in the last ELCE, David point out in his presentation that we should improve how to deploy Yocto images on the target. I did some work this year to provide a reliable way for some customers of us to install Yocto's images in field, and I have published last week the sources. Here the link of the announcement: http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.comp.embedded.eldk/2397 Mainly, it is a tool that can be stored in the rootfs or will be put in a separate initrd image and whose goal is only to update the system. I have tried to describe pros and cons of several different solutions (updating via bootloader ? single copy against dual copy ?) - you can find details in the doc directory in the swupdate repository. Maybe someone of you can find this helpful, and I will be happy if I could get some feedback.

YP updater must be an atomic image based update that provides essential patches/features to embedded systems. It must have high reliability characteristics and tolerance to failures. 51313 3 benjamin.esquivel 2015-05-27 17:19:12 +0000 The updaters investigation has given some data and a discussion is happening to decide whether this updater will be enabled for YP. 51827 4 mariano.lopez 2015-06-19 16:56:58 +0000 The Tizen updater has a better implementation of the binary copy where it copies only the blocks with data and not all the disk. Also it is able to tell what disk/partition overwrite at execution time. A new bug will be opened if this updater is considered again. 53666 5 bogdanx.a.voiculescu 2015-09-03 11:14:43 +0000 will not be implemented this way.
