Introduction
This document describes the firmware update of RPI board using FirmwareControl plugin.Plugin can be enabled via controller UI once image is booted. Based on the request given to board, tarred firmware image is downloaded to RPI board from the given HTTP server and the image is updated accordingly.
...
For testing Firmware Control plugin , we need HTTP server that hosts the tarred image.

Setting up a HTTP server:
...
- Auto reboot after firmware update is not happening currently. User has to reboot manually after completion of firmware update.
- RPI board will reboot before firmware update only for the first request for updating memory partition table, and user has to give request command once again for firmware update. This occurs only for the first request after board boot up.
TroubleShooting
- Verify /var/lib has enough free space to accommodate the image tar file before initiating the download. This can be done using df -h command.
