Waiting for the nitra code to become public.
Comment 2 Dave Stewart 2013-04-05 23:12:29 UTC
Promoting this to HIGH for the 1.5 release

Where is 'Nitra Updating system' information?
Comment 5 Richard Purdie 2013-05-30 15:11:36 UTC
Targeting to M2 since another bug for M2 depends on this.

So?
Comment 7 Richard Purdie 2013-06-12 12:11:07 UTC
It was renamed to be part of Fenrus, e.g. http://git.fenrus.org/git/?p=projects/fenrus-update-server.git;a=summary

Saul, please close this one as a duplicate of
Comment 9 Saul Wold 2013-11-01 14:47:00 UTC
There is a possibility of a community group providing source for an image updater, which will be evaluated and tested. 

Moving from High to M+ until we have a more solid direction for this.

The git URL is no longer working.

News on this?

It was assigned to me, I guess that's some news.

FYI, this was mentioned on yocto@ today:

One such approach for firmware upgrade is implemented in this meta layer:

This has changed direction several times. If we have a decent proposal of what we should do lets consider that as a specific proposal and close this randomly changing direction bug.
