Overview
Edge Over-the-air updates are designed in the same way, as Platform (Cloud) OTA Updates. Please read Platform OTA Updates documentation to get knowledge on OTA Updates functionality in general.
Propagation OTA Packages to Edge
OTA Packages are created on the Platform. In the current version you can not create, modify or delete them on the Edge.
All the OTA firmware and software packages, that are created on the Platform, are automatically propagated to every Edge instance, that is connected to the Platform. No additional assignment actions required from Tenant administrator or user.
OTA Usage in the Device or Device Profile configurations
OTA Packages on the Edge can be used in Device or Device Profile configurations, in the same way as it used for Platform Device or Device Profile configurations.
Usage of these packages on the Edge is the same as on Platform, so you can follow Platform documentation.
