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:
