RemoteUpdater

A remote update solution that runs before the OS launches

A common device requirement is the ability to provision device software remotely, but reliably updating software while an operating system is running can be problematic. Intrinsyc’s Remote Device Updater (RDU) is a scripted boot loader and image updater that solves this problem.

RDU is a patented, secure, failsafe and feature rich in-field software updater that provides software update capability to devices ranging from consumer electronics, to industrial handhelds, to deeply embedded controllers. RDU’s failsafe nature guarantees image updates or reverts to the last known verified state.

Whether you are provisioning a device for the first time in the factory, or updating software in the home, or recovering from a device malfunction, RDU automates these functions in a timely, efficient, and cost effective manner.
