OTA for Android Things

Question

How to update preview of Android Things 1 with preview 2? Is there an automatic OTA or is it not right now, so I need to put out an SD card (from my Raspberry Pi)?

Answer 1

EDIT1:

OTA is currently unavailable. You need to download the preview of 2 binary files manually and execute the flash file on the SDCard.

EDIT2: (2017 June 30)

OTA is now available using the androidthing console .

For automatic OTA updates, you need to create a factory image, then download it and put it on your SD card / board. This happens the next time there is an OS / security update. Updates will be downloaded and installed automatically. You can also update your applications from the console. See the image below and contact for more information.

Answer 2

In IO 2017, it was indicated that OTA updates would be available through the IoT Developer Console. However, now I believe, because in the preview of the developer these functions are not available.

The IoT Developer Console is the best place to develop Android Things or Weave on your devices.
