Afero

Afero Cloud OTA Firmware API

The Afero Over-the-Air (OTA) Update API lets a partner drive firmware releases from their own CI/CD pipeline instead of the OTA Manager web application. It creates and updates partner firmware types, creates firmware records in the partner firmware pool, uploads firmware binaries to a temporary location and moves them into the permanent repository, checks whether a name and version already exists, associates pool images with device types to make them OTA-eligible, lists and filters firmware images with tag filtering and paging, pushes an image to a specific device, dissociates an image from a device type, and lists firmware tags.
