Updating the Linux microPlatform Core

The FoundriesFactory® platform manifest is tailored to make consuming core platform updates easily. At Foundries.io™, we often release Linux® microPlatform (LmP) updates as an effort to get the latest features and security fixes out to users.

Note

You can subscribe to Factory Notifications to be informed of new LmP releases.

We provide a helper script update-factory-manifest to update your Factory to a new LmP release. This script automatically updates your manifest to the latest LmP version available if no merge conflicts are found.

Updating Your Factory

git clone https://source.foundries.io/factories/<myfactory>/lmp-manifest.git
git clone https://github.com/foundriesio/lmp-tools
cd lmp-manifest/
git checkout <branch to update>
../lmp-tools/scripts/update-factory-manifest

Tip

We recommend testing the update in a separate branch before merging to your active branches. After testing, the changes can be merged to your development branches.

If no merge conflicts are found, this script merges your changes and pushes the updated manifest to your Factory, triggering a new platform build. Once published, the update is deployed to your devices following this tag.

Tip

If something goes wrong, don’t fret! This is why we use version control!

git revert HEAD

If there are merge conflicts, it is up to you to fix them. Do not hesitate to contact our support at if help is needed during your Factory update.
