Dependency of Versions between Components
Why Are Version Dependencies Needed Between Components?
In many devices, certain components depend on specific versions of other components to function correctly. When updating the firmware of one component, it’s essential to check that other interdependent components are running compatible versions.
For instance, you might set a dependency between the Motor and Engine components, so that if the Engine is upgraded to version 3, the Motor must be on at least version 2 for the device to operate as expected.
You can add a version dependency for a component while uploading the new firmware version by following the below steps:
Access Actions Tab
Click on the Actions tab
Go to Inventory Tab and Access Firmware Files Tab
Navigate to the Firmware Files tab by clicking on Inventory section
Go to the desired Device Component Tab and Initiate Upload
Click on Firmware Files tab, click on the desired Device Component tab and click on Upload New Firmware button
Fill Details
Enter details like version, upload the firmware file, enter uncompressed file size(Optional).
Click on Add Dependencies
Click on Add Dependencies button and select the components and corresponding versions and click on Submit button.
