DPYOTAUPDATERTOOL                                         Linux Programmer's Manual                                         DPYOTAUPDATERTOOL

DESCRIPTION
	dpyotaupdatertool : Tool used to read OTA Updater Information messages. Moreover, it is used to configure and deploy a valid list of packages.
	
	For updating the kernel it is necessary to create a zip file with new zImage kernel image. This file should be named zImage.zip (e.g "zip zImage.zip zImage") and stored in /mntDAT.
	After a few seconds OTAUpdater service will process and the new kernel will be tried to be loaded in next boot. If a boot error happens with new kernel, the system will load the old kernel automatically.
	After a successful update, it is possible to roll the old kernel image back. It is necessary to create a file called rollbackKernel in /mntDAT (e.g. "touch /mntDAT/rollbackKernel"). After a few seconds, the file will be removed and in next boot the system will try to load the old kernel image.
 
 	Used kernel can be checked in /proc/cmdline.

Additional ways to update the system

Deepsy updates can be triggered via OTAUpdater API / tool. However, there are several functionalities which are not included in the API that allow users to update Kernel , Root File system or other elements manually.
