Updating Firmware & Software Remotely¶

Keep track of changes to Sixaola firmware and software at: Change Log - Sixaola

Note

This is for Sixaola power users only. Generally, OSOP will email you when your Sixaola has a new firmware or software update. OSOP technicians will either update the Sixaolas for you or guide you through the process.

Install sshpass:

$ sudo apt-get install git sshpass

Installer will be received by email when new updates are available.

Download it to your local machine then:

$ unzip S3-SW-Installer.zip
$ cd S3-SW-Installer

Execute the program to update Sixaola(s) remotely:

$ ./installer.start

Options:

Select Package for installation (firmware and software are separate packages and must be installed one at a time).

When asked whether or not to reboot after the installation is complete, select Y for software and N for firmware. If you are running an update for both software and firmware, install the software first, do not reboot and then install the firmware last. The firmware install will automatically reboot the Sixaola.

List IPs of the Sixaolas you wish to update or provide a file with a list of IPs on the command line (e.g., sixaola-list.txt)
