FOTA Updates and Custom SDKs

[DarrenC]

I have built my own custom firmware with some amendments to the packages. The issue I am experiencing is that FOTA might pick up that a new firmware version is available and prompts the user to update - if my users do this, they will loose the functionality baked into my customised version of the firmware.

My question is - how do I either disable the FOTA checks OR change where FOTA looks for new updates?

I did try removing the vuci-app-rut-fota-api package, but this breaks the WebUI entirely, so it need to be installed.

I am currently building: rutos-ipq40xx-rutx-sdk_00.07.15.1

Hi there,

Notifications can be disabled under System → Firmware → FOTA settings:

As for disabling the FOTA completely, you can find it under /package/teltonika/rut_fota

rut_fota.config - you can change where it’ll check for FW updates, or disable it by default
rut_fota.init - you can change when it checks for updates

Regards,
M.

Thank you! That did the trick
