Flashing the SD card
|
||||
====================
|
||||
|
||||
In some circumstances, the :abbr:`IoT (Internet of Things)` box's micro SD Card may need to be
|
||||
re-flashed to benefit from Odoo's latest :abbr:`IoT (Internet of Things)` image update. This means
|
||||
that the Odoo :abbr:`IoT (Internet of Things)` box software may need to be updated.
|
||||
|
||||
Upgrade from the IoT box home page
|
||||
==================================
|
||||
|
||||
Go to the :abbr:`IoT (Internet of Things)` box homepage by navigating to :menuselection:`IoT app -->
|
||||
IoT Boxes` and clicking on the :guilabel:`IP address` of the :abbr:`IoT (Internet of Things)` box.
|
||||
Then click on :guilabel:`Update` (next to the version number).
|
||||
|
||||
If a new version of the :abbr:`IoT (Internet of Things)` Box image is available, an
|
||||
:guilabel:`Upgrade to _xx.xx_` button will appear at the bottom of the page. Click this button to
|
||||
upgrade the unit and the :abbr:`IoT (Internet of Things)` box will then flash itself to the new
|
||||
version. All of the previous configurations will be saved.
|
||||
|
||||
.. note::
|
||||
This process can take more than 30 minutes. Do not turn off or unplug the :abbr:`IoT (Internet of
|
||||
Things)` box as it would leave it in an inconsistent state. This means that the :abbr:`IoT
|
||||
(Internet of Things)` box will need to be re-flashed with a new image. See

||||
:ref:`flash_sdcard/etcher`.

- Odoo V13 --> iotboxv20_10.zip
|
||||
|
||||
The images should be downloaded and extracted to a convenient file location.
|
||||
|
||||
After this step is complete, insert the :abbr:`IoT (Internet of Things)` box's micro SD card into
|
||||
the computer or reader. Open *Etcher* and select :guilabel:`Flash from file`, then find and select
|
||||
the image just downloaded and extracted. Next, select the drive the image should be burned to.
|
||||
Lastly, click on :guilabel:`Flash` and wait for the process to finish.

Updating (IoT)
|
||||
==============
|
||||
|
||||
Due to the complexity of the :abbr:`IoT (Internet of Things)` box, and virtual Windows :abbr:`IoT
|
||||
(Internet of Things)` box, the term 'updating' can mean several different things.
|
||||
|
||||
The actual drivers can be updated, the core code on the :abbr:`IoT (Internet of Things)` box can be
|
||||
updated, or a new image can be flashed (using a physical :abbr:`IoT (Internet of Things)` box).
|
||||
|
||||
This document explores the various ways to update :abbr:`IoT (Internet of Things)` boxes to ensure
|
||||
smooth operation of :abbr:`IoT (Internet of Things)` box processes and devices.
|
||||
|
||||
.. _iot/config/flash:
|
||||
|
||||
Flashing the SD card on IoT box
|
||||
===============================
|
||||
|
||||
.. important::
|
||||
This update does **not** apply to the Windows :abbr:`IoT (Internet of Things)` box (Odoo 16 and
|
||||
higher).
|
||||
|
||||
To update the Windows :abbr:`IoT (Internet of Things)`, first, uninstall the previous version of
|
||||
the Odoo Windows program, and then reinstall it using the most up-to-date installation package.
|
||||
|
||||
To begin the installation, navigate to the Odoo 16 (or higher) installation package for
|
||||
Enterprise or Community - Windows edition, at `Odoo's download page
|
||||
<https://odoo.com/download>`_.
|
||||
|
||||
In some circumstances, the :abbr:`IoT (Internet of Things)` box's micro SD Card may need to be
|
||||
re-flashed with *Etcher* software to benefit from Odoo's latest :abbr:`IoT (Internet of Things)`
|
||||
image update. This means the Odoo :abbr:`IoT (Internet of Things)` box software may need to be
|
||||
updated in instances of a new :abbr:`IoT (Internet of Things)` box, or when a handler's update, or
|
||||
an update from the :abbr:`IoT (Internet of Things)` box home page, does not resolve issues.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
.. note::
|
||||
- It is often necessary to re-flash the :abbr:`IoT (Internet of Things)` box's image after
|
||||
upgrading the Odoo database to a new version.
|
||||
- A computer with a micro SD card reader/adapter is **required** to re-flash the micro SD card.
|
||||
|
||||
First, begin by downloading `Etcher <https://www.balena.io/etcher#download-etcher>`_. It is a free,
|
||||
open-source utility, used for burning image files onto drives. After the download completes, install
|
||||
and launch the program on the computer.
|
||||
|
||||
Then, download the latest :abbr:`IoT (Internet of Things)` image from `nightly
|
||||
<http://nightly.odoo.com/master/iotbox>`_, which will be labeled as `iotbox-latest.zip`. This
|
||||
particular image is compatible with *all* supported versions of Odoo.
|
||||
|
||||
After this step is complete, insert the :abbr:`IoT (Internet of Things)` box's micro SD card into
|
||||
the computer or reader. Open *Etcher*, and select :guilabel:`Flash from file`, then find and select
|
||||
the `iotbox-latest.zip` image and extract it. Next, select the drive the image should be burned to.
|
||||
|
||||
Lastly, click :guilabel:`Flash`, and wait for the process to finish.

|

|
||||
.. tip::
|
||||
Balena's *Etcher* software also allows for the administrator to flash the :abbr:`SD (Secure
|
||||
Digital)` card from a :abbr:`URL (Uniform Resource Locator)`. To flash from a :abbr:`URL (Uniform
|
||||
Resource Locator)`, simply click :guilabel:`Flash from URL`, instead of :guilabel:`Flash from
|
||||
file`.

|

Update from the IoT box home page
|
||||
=================================
|
||||
|
||||
In the background, the :abbr:`IoT (Internet of Things)` box uses a version of Odoo code to run and
|
||||
connect to the Odoo database. This code may need to be updated in order for the :abbr:`IoT (Internet
|
||||
of Things)` box to operate effectively. This operation should be completed on a routine basis, to
|
||||
ensure the :abbr:`IoT (Internet of Things)` system, and its processes, stay up-to-date.
|
||||
|
||||
Go to the :abbr:`IoT (Internet of Things)` box home page by navigating to :menuselection:`IoT app
|
||||
--> IoT Boxes`, and clicking on the :guilabel:`IP address` of the :abbr:`IoT (Internet of Things)`
|
||||
box. Then, click on :guilabel:`Update` (next to the version number).
|
||||
|
||||
If a new version of the :abbr:`IoT (Internet of Things)` box image is available, an
|
||||
:guilabel:`Upgrade to _xx.xx_` button appears at the bottom of the page. Click this button to
|
||||
upgrade the unit, at which point the :abbr:`IoT (Internet of Things)` box flashes itself to the
|
||||
newer version. All of the previous configurations are then saved.
|
||||
|
||||
.. important::
|
||||
This process can take more than 30 minutes. Do **not** turn off, or unplug, the :abbr:`IoT
|
||||
(Internet of Things)` box, as it would leave it in an inconsistent state. This means the
|
||||
:abbr:`IoT (Internet of Things)` box needs to be :ref:`re-flashed <iot/config/flash>` with a new
|
||||
image.

Handler (driver) update
|
||||
=======================
|
||||
|
||||
There may be some instances where drivers or interfaces need to be updated for individual devices
|
||||
(e.g. scales, measurement tools, etc.). The IoT handler's (drivers and interfaces) code can be
|
||||
modified by syncing them with the configured server handler's code.
|
||||
|
||||
This can be helpful in instances where :abbr:`IoT (Internet of Things)` devices (e.g. scales,
|
||||
measurement tools, etc.) are not working properly with the :abbr:`IoT (Internet of Things)` box.
|
||||
|
||||
For both the Windows :abbr:`IoT (Internet of Things)` (Odoo 16 and higher) and physical :abbr:`IoT
|
||||
(Internet of Things)` box, this process can be performed manually from the :abbr:`IoT (Internet of
|
||||
Things)` box home page. Go to the :abbr:`IoT (Internet of Things)` box home page by navigating to
|
||||
:menuselection:`IoT app --> IoT Boxes`, and clicking on the :guilabel:`IP address` of the :abbr:`IoT
|
||||
(Internet of Things)` box.
|
||||
|
||||
Next, click :guilabel:`Handlers list`, and then select :guilabel:`Load Handlers` at the bottom of
|
||||
the page.

||||

||||

||||
:alt: Handlers list on an IoT box with the load handlers button highlighted.
|
||||
|
||||
.. important::
|
||||
Handler's code is fetched from the configured server, and it needs to be up-to-date to have the
|
||||
latest fixes and patches.
|
||||
|
||||
.. note::
|
||||
A handler update is also performed automatically each time the :abbr:`IoT (Internet of Things)`
|
||||
box is restarted. The only exception to this process is if the *Automatic drivers update* is
|
||||
unchecked in the form view of the :abbr:`IoT (Internet of Things)` box on the Odoo server. This
|
||||
setting can be reached by going to :menuselection:`IoT App --> Select the IoT box --> Automatic
|
||||
drivers update`.
