Models and Releases

The concept of firmware update is directly connected to two other core resources of Connhex: Models and Releases.

In general, models represent a specific type of device that can receive firmware updates. A model typically corresponds to a particular board design, and each connectable is an individual instance of that model.

For each model, there may be multiple releases available. Each release is characterized by the following attributes:

• File: The file associated with the release
• Version: A unique identifier for the release
• Update Policy: Whether the release is mandatory or optional
• Required Version: Minimum or maximum version required for the update
• Release Notes: Additional information about the release

Models and releases can be created directly from Connhex Control.

In order to be available to the connectables in the field, a release must be marked as active. For each model, only one release can be marked as active.
