= OTA - Over The Air Update

This is a large topic with lots of variables.

On the Gateworks SBCs, or single board computers, there are several pieces to be aware of:
 * GSC Firmware
 * Bootloader
 * RootFS (!OpenWrt, Ubuntu, etc)

Read below for more details.

== GSC Firwmare 

The GSC, or Gateworks system controller has it's own firmware. 
This can be updated from the Linux command line, and thus scripted for OTA udpates.
Read more here: [wiki:gsc#GSCUpdates]

== Bootloader
This can typically be updated from the Linux command line. Read more here: [wiki:ventana/bootloader#u-boot.imgThemainbootloaderapplication]

== RootFS

=== Ubuntu

Ubuntu typically uses the standard apt-get package management system for updates. 

=== OpenWrt
See [wiki:OpenWrt/sysupgrade]

=== Buildroot 
See SWUpdate: [wiki:buildroot#SWUpdate]

== Third Party Software

There are many third party software providers out there, that have '''NOT''' been tested on Gateworks products, so please proceed at your own risk:
