Hi,
You have several ways of doing that:
-
Have a server somewhere and write a client/script for your embedded system to get the files there and update them selves
-
Upload your files through ssh to your system

How do you access your devices ? Are they completely autonomous ?
-
Yes its completely autonomous product.
We can connect Ethernet cable for internet connection. -
But is it a system that your are selling or using in your enterprise ?
-
its under R&D soon will be a selling product.
-
Is the auto update feature something configurable ?
-
i not yet implemented auto update feature.
I want to do so. -
The autoupdate can be done from your application, or using an application launcher.
Since it's an online auto updater you will need a set of server that your system can contact to retrieve the update information (one server is just completely too dangerous).
The information can be a simple xml file (don't forget that once your device is in the wild, you can't change the xml format).
Then you will have to download the new files/archive and overwrite your system with it. Depending on your software you will have to restart your system and/or application.
