11:45 AM - 12:15 PM

Tracks: Embedded Security - Strategies

Speaker(s): Christopher Earls
Managing firmware updates is essential at each stage of your device's lifecycle: to meet regulatory requirements, address security vulnerabilities, optimize performance, launch new features, and avoid device "bricking."
In this session, we will cover:
Security and compliance requirements
Best practices and implementation examples with tried-and-tested solutions like A/B partitioning
Insights on open-source and commercial solutions (SWUpdate, RAUC, etc.)
Shipping updates to multiple components of an appliance with SWUpdate forwarder
Join us to better understand firmware update mechanisms and the best approaches for embedded Linux systems.
