Is there a way to add apps to the OTA zip file to auto install apps we want on our devices when doing a manual upgrade? We have several self hosted services and would like to include these apps on all our devices.
I believe the way it could be done is to recompile the OTA including the apps, the OTA just flashes partitions, it doesn’t execute tasks.
A practical way I can think of but I can’t verify that works is to run the image of the OTA in some virtual machine, install the apps or make any other changes and repack the OTA .zip file.
It may not be so easy if it needs complicated verifications with checksums etc.
Seems that what you need is an MDM.
There is no MDM compatible with iode at the moment.
I unzipped the OTA and it includes a massive .bin file, can this run on a virtual machine ?
Could this be done with the super.img in the SPFlash OTA ?
What is the MDM ?
I’ve tried numerous MDM platforms; but none work well. There are large very expensive options that are out of my reach; by headwind and the like have not worked well at all.
We are working on an MDM. Original plan was not to make the BraX3 compatible with it, but we’re getting increased amount of requests from organizations that will require MDM solution on the BraX3. We are evaluating the options for BraX3.
Can this MDM be self-hosted and will it be open source? We are a family managing our assets. This is not a company with a budget.
We won’t release it if it’s not open-sourced and available for self-hosting.
