Hello
Regarding MobiControl and Honeywell Android units, for example the Honeywell CT50 Android 6 I'm currently testing.
I was wondering if anyone maybe have tested something like this before or have some toughts, I find Honeywell easier to work whit than Zebra but Zebra may have a little more advantage whit MobiControl as script comand to rund update downloaded on to the unit before hand.
So from Honeywell and CT50 in this case, may have been changed in the newer units.
Honeywell describe OTA update as making a xml provisioner whit their EZConfig as tasks:
Source: http://server_ip/Honeywell_CommonES_Android_Common_4.01.00.3455.zip
Action: InstallFile
Destination: /storage/IPSM/honeywell/autoinstall/CommonES.zip
This basically downloads and moves CommonES to destination folder and is automatically runned on reboot.
Source: http://server_ip/HELSINKIAD_71.01.04.0015.zip
Action: InstallOta
Destination:
Downloads and rund the kernel update whit a reboot when finished, on boot again the CommonES first downloaded is being runned.
This is ok in itself sinse it can be downloaded from HTTP, HTTPS and FTP but when running several thousend units and more comming in diffrent location in non and secure networks it becomes a challenge to setup all the FTP and web servers to make this happen.
So, could the Content Libary be used for this action, upload the OS files and downloaded to the unit.
Downloading the CommonES to a file location should be ok but download kernel and run action InstallOta I'm a little more unsure of.
Or could Content Libary setup a path in either HTTPS or FTP as we could have linked to barcode in EZConfig.
So Ota is downloaded from https://sotiurl/ContenLibaryPath?
Best regards
