X20 Edge OS Update Automation Without Web Interface?

,

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.
