Avoiding the brick: seamless updates in embedded devices

Security challenges and bug fixes are causing modern embedded devices to be updated more frequently than ever before, with more than 80% receiving updates yearly and 34% being updated as frequently as once a month.

The consequences of a failed system update can, in the worst case, be a complete failure to boot – known as the brick. With the help of a transactional file system however, system updates of any size and scope can be handled seamlessly. A power failure or other interruption will never result in a brick, and no major changes to the application are required.
