Upgrade Tool

The eManager includes a script in the form of a service that improves the default behaviour of the opkg tool. This service is especially useful when dealing with unstable Internet connection and will perform the opkg update && opkg upgrade command avoiding data corruption.

In case you experience low level/unstable Internet connection please upgrade the eManager packages following this steps:

  1. Enter to the eManager using the ssh root@10.1.10.10 command.

  2. Start the opkg perform-opkg-upgrade service in a non-blocking mode using:

    systemctl --no-block start perform-opkg-upgrade
    

  3. Exit the eManager and wait some minutes before entering again.

    You can use the command exit to cut off the connection with the eManager and speed up the upgrade process. Once you exit the device, wait a couple of minutes before entering to it again with ssh root@10.1.10.10.

  4. Check the logs obtained during the upgrade process using:

    cat /tmp/opkg_upgrade_result.txt
    

    It is important to verify that at the end of the file it appears the "Upgraded ok!". If this is not the case, please go back to step 2 and repeat the process.

  5. Reboot the eManager using reboot command to ensure that the changes take effect.
