xAP schema used for firmware upgrades


  • Subject: xAP schema used for firmware upgrades

I need to send a xAP message to an embedded device in order to ask it
to upgrade its firmware from a local or remote repository. I've been
looking into the existing schemas and I've not been able to find
anything useful for this application. As result, I've created a custom
message like this one:

xap-header
{
v=13
hop=1
uid=FF.1234:00
class=boot.cmd
source=opnode.gckoman.manager1
target=opnode.gecko.opngecko1
}
boot.upgrade
{
server=192.168.1.17
servertype=tftp
file=opnGecko.bin
}

servertype could take different values: tftp, ftp, http, etc.

Further considerations on this new schema could bring us new uses too:
restart/halt xAP devices (the whole device, not single endpoints),
upload/download configuration files, etc. Then, the affected device
should reply with some kind of acknowledgement. But before deciding to
put this into production, I'd like to confirm that this can not be
done with other existing schemas.

Thanks for your comments,
