Hi B&R community,
I’m looking for advice on updating an X20 Edge (X20EDS410) in a more automated way, ideally without relying on the web interface for every update.
B&R provides Kernel and Full update images, and the normal update flow is done via System Management > OS Update in the web interface. For our use case, we’d like to know whether anyone has found a supported or reliable way to automate this process, for example via script, SSH, or another mechanism.
What we are trying to understand:
- Is there a recommended way to trigger OS updates without manual browser interaction?
- Are there any pitfalls when trying to automate Kernel or Full updates?
- Does anyone have experience with update workflows that include rollback/fallback handling?
- Are there better alternatives than trying to automate the update itself?
- Has anyone run into issues with unsupported package updates or post-update persistence?
We want to keep the system maintainable and avoid risky workarounds, so any guidance, best practices, or lessons learned would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
