  1. Nothing is pushed

    Units ask for updates at their next check-in, check the SHA-256, install and report back.

  2. Releases for SN-1

    Each release shows its channel, hash and how many units run it. Publish a release adds a new one.

  3. Roll out

    Roll out asks where. Choose one organisation in To, then Start rollout and confirm.

  4. Follow each rollout

    Each rollout shows how many units are updated, waiting or failed. Pause stops new units starting.

  5. Hold while on site

    In Every unit, Hold keeps a node on what it runs until the next rollout.

  6. DU-1 drive unit

    Switch to DU-1 drive unit to see the versions units report in the field.

Read the subtitles

Click Firmware under Platform in the sidebar. Nothing is pushed to a unit. Each one asks at its next check-in, checks the SHA-256 of the image, installs it and reports back.

Releases lists each shore node image with its channel, hash, notes and how many units run it. A release is installed nowhere until you roll it out. New images are added with Publish a release.

Click Roll out on the latest stable release. If you are unsure, start with one organisation, here the rowing club. Click Start rollout and confirm. Its nodes are told at their next check-in.

Rollouts shows how far each one has got: updated, waiting to check in, or failed. Pause stops new units starting. Anything mid install finishes, and an offline unit takes it when it comes back.

Every unit lists the nodes not yet up to date. When someone is working on site, click Hold on that node and confirm. It stays on what it runs until the next rollout. A failed install shows Retry instead.

Switch to DU-1 drive unit to see which versions the drive units report in the field. Drive unit images are not published from the portal yet.
