Intelligent OTA: Host MCU Images Tab

1. Log in to the Ayla Customer Dashboard using your current log-in credentials.

NOTE	These are the credentials you set up to register for a developer’s account. If you have not done this, refer to the Ayla Developer’s Portal User’s Guide, AY006UDP3 on Ayla Connection.

2. Click Intelligent OTA in the navigation panel (on the left side of the dashboard), as shown below:

3. In the drop-down for OEM Model (shown below), select the OEM model from the list. These are the model numbers of the OEM’s host application board, which are extracted from each Ayla template associated with your OEM admin role.

NOTE

Only OEM admins and OEM support managers are allowed to execute OTA Host jobs in the Ayla Customer Dashboard. Refer to the following topics for more information on Ayla Roles and Templates: Ayla Default User Roles, User Roles for Access to Factory Actions, Ayla Platform OEM Types, and Ayla Templates.

4. Click the Host MCU Images tab located at the top of the OTA landing page, as shown below.

5. Use the table on this tab to review and monitor information on existing images for the selected OTA model, as shown below:

NOTE	You can click the column heading to sort the information in that column (including OTA Target Version, Host Image File, Ayla Module Dependency, Ayla Module Target Version Dependency, and Uploaded Date).

Following are descriptions of the information available in this table of existing Host MCU Images on the Host MCU Images table:

• In Use

- Indicates that the image is not included in any active OTA.

- Indicates that the image is included in an active OTA for one or more OEMs/ OEM Models.

• OTA Target Version

The firmware version of the image that was uploaded for migration via this OTA update.

• Host Image File

The file name of the firmware image on the Ayla Module that is assigned to the OTA update about to be migrated to the field.

• Ayla Module Dependency

This is the Ayla module firmware image that came with the Ayla device(s) which should receive this OTA update. Specifying the Ayla module dependency is important because the module may be changed over the lifecycle of a device.

NOTE	The Ayla platform filters out all other modules except for the one you selected for Ayla Module Dependency, and then deploys the OTA update only to the devices with that particular Ayla module. This is an efficient way to send firmware updates to select devices.

• Ayla Module Target Version Dependency

The Ayla firmware release/version that will be sent to devices via the OTA update.

• Uploaded Date (UTC)

The date/time (in Coordinated Universal Time) that the Host image file was uploaded to the dashboard.

• Size

The size of the image.

• Actions

- Used to delete the Host MCU image. A confirmation message box displays to make sure that you wish to delete the image from the system.

When you create a new Host MCU image in the Ayla Customer Dashboard, you are configuring an image profile. You can modify this profile as explained under Edit Existing Host MCU Images, but you cannot completely change it.

NOTE	You can create a new firmware image for the Ayla Integrated Agent (White Box) in the Ayla Customer Dashboard.

9. For Ayla Module Target Dependency (optional), select the Ayla module firmware release/version to send to devices via this OTA update.

NOTE	If you configure Ayla Module Dependency (in Step 8), you must also enter the version of the Ayla module firmware to deploy to those devices in the Ayla Module Target Dependency field.

10. For Description (optional), type information on this Host MCU image for OTA migration, for example, “this is the software to update the ATM module from version 1.2 to 1.3.2.”
11. Click the CREATE button to add this host MCU image to the list of images that can be used in OTA updates. Or, click the CANCEL button to close this dialog box without saving.
