Firmware Management

Friction-free OTA Firmware Management

Updating device firmware is a fundamental requirement for every hardware device, yet it often presents significant challenges. Traditional firmware update processes can be plagued by stability issues, scalability concerns, high traffic costs, and poor management of the update cycle. These challenges make it hard for manufacturers to effectively manage firmware updates, and even more challenging for users to deploy them.

Radix OTA firmware management is designed to streamline the firmware update process, providing a simple and seamless experience for manufacturers and users alike.

Radix OTA

Radix Customize Firmware Management

Radix offers a powerful proprietary OTA (Over-the-Air) update mechanism that is designed to support any Android device, whether it is GMS (Google Mobile Services) or non-GMS. This versatile solution provides unmatched flexibility and scalability, making it an ideal choice for device manufacturers, especially those using AOSP (Android Open Source Project) or their own custom Android flavors

Universal Device Support

Radix’s OTA solution is specifically designed to meet the needs of device manufacturers who require reliable, efficient update services for all Android devices, including those without GMS certification. With support for both public and private Android versions, manufacturers can ensure their devices remain secure, up-to-date, and functioning optimally. Whether using AOSP or a custom Android variant, Radix’s robust OTA mechanism offers universal compatibility, enabling seamless update processes across diverse devices.

Flexible OTA File Storage

Radix’s OTA mechanism allows the storage of OTA files (often hundreds of MB or even GB each) in a variety of locations:

Your CDN: For manufacturers looking to host their update files on their own content delivery network, Radix allows full integration, providing complete control over update distribution.

Radix Servers: If you prefer a managed solution, Radix can securely host your OTA files on its own servers, ensuring fast, reliable delivery to all connected devices.

Local Storage: For businesses with specific security or network requirements, Radix also supports the option to store OTA files on local servers, making it easy to manage updates in closed environments or where internet access is limited.

Perfect for AOSP and Custom Android Flavors

Manufacturers who rely on AOSP or have developed their own custom Android variants often face challenges with traditional OTA services. Radix’s proprietary solution eliminates those barriers by offering a flexible, scalable update mechanism tailored for non-standard Android environments. This ensures that regardless of the Android flavor in use, devices can still receive critical updates and patches with ease.

Update Engine Based Firmware Management

Radix is fully integrated with the Google Update Engine for supported devices. Using an update engine for OTA (Over-the-Air) updates provides a streamlined and efficient way to manage software updates across devices.

Automated Updates

The update engine automates the process of deploying updates, ensuring that all devices receive the latest software without manual intervention. This minimizes user involvement and reduces the risk of skipped or delayed updates.

Seamless Rollouts

OTA updates via an update engine allow for controlled rollouts, enabling administrators to gradually deploy updates to a select group of devices before broader distribution. This ensures that any potential issues can be detected and resolved early.

Reduced Downtime

With OTA updates, the process is designed to be seamless and unobtrusive, often running in the background while devices remain operational. This reduces downtime and ensures that devices continue to function even as updates are applied.

Enhanced Security

An update engine enables rapid deployment of security patches, addressing vulnerabilities quickly across all devices. This is crucial for maintaining the security and integrity of a connected device ecosystem.

Centralized Management

The update engine allows administrators to manage and monitor the entire update process from a central platform. This ensures visibility and control over which devices have been updated and helps to maintain consistency across fleets of devices.

Smaller, Incremental Updates

OTA updates typically use a differential update method, meaning only the parts of the software that have changed are transmitted. This reduces the data required for each update, saving bandwidth and improving update speed.

Reliability with Failover Mechanisms

Update engines often include mechanisms to ensure update reliability. If an update fails, the system can revert to the previous version, preventing device downtime or malfunction.

Cost Efficiency

OTA updates reduce the need for physical servicing or manual intervention, resulting in lower operational costs. Whether managing a fleet of digital signage devices or IoT systems, this leads to significant time and cost savings.
