Can't retrieve information about available firmware downloads

I’m operating on the RUT 240 device. FOTA is enabled and discover an update from RUT2_R_00.07.04.3 to RUT2_R_00.07.04.4. I can download the update through interface and apply for upgrading however, when trying to run rut_fota --fw_info command through SSH, I always get a [get_tap_info:135] error: Failed to load ‘device_management’ package error. Tried to search opkg repository for “device_management” and “device management” but there isn’t any such package. Is it a known problem and need to be addressed or did I miss something? I couldn’t find much about firmware updates or fota in the wiki.

I’d like to create a simple shell script and use the existing cron job for searching for updates and to be informed about them in the way I choose in the script.

Hello,

The update does seem to be found:

The device management seems to only apply to TAP100, and should not be relevant in this case. If no update is available, the command rut_fota --fw_info will only return the get_tap_info:135 error and nothing else.

Best regards,

Additionally, I’d recommend using an ubus call to check the firmware state using the command:
ubus call vuci.system.firmware get_fw_info
Package jq can be downloaded from opkg, and it can be used for parsing the JSON output.

Best regards,
