No wonder America's critical infrastructure is at risk. [rand.org] I had no idea until I googled ViewSE [rockwellautomation.com]. Mod parent way up!
How would one do firmware updates? (Score:2)
I wonder what is the best way to do firmware updates in this environment. There is the standard method via apt or maybe even snap, but in offline environments where a firmware install (OS + the stuff that comes with it) all should be a certified version, and installed atomically like an Android update, I wonder how this can be done.
No, for embedded, offline stuff, snap and apt won't do the job. It either will take a bootloader, or even a good old physical replacement of a SD card with a new firmware load
