RAUC is a lightweight update client that runs on an Embedded Linux device and

reliably controls the procedure of updating the device with a new firmware.

RAUC is also the tool on the host system that is used to create, inspect and

modify update files ("bundles") for the device.

This manual page documents briefly the

.BR rauc

command line utility.

It was written for the Debian GNU/Linux distribution to satisfy the

packaging requirements. Thus it should only serve as a summary,

reading the comprehensive online manual (\fBhttps://rauc.readthedocs.io/\fR)

is recommended.

The following general options can be used with most commands, however

not all combinations make sense.

.TP

use the given config file instead of the one at the compiled-in default path

.TP

Override parameters from the config file with the specified configuration settings.

If specified parameter is not present in the config file it will still be set by this option.

.TP

.TP

mount prefix (/mnt/rauc by default)

.TP

enable debug output

.RS 4

Without further subcommand, it simply shows the system status or status of a specific slot.

The subcommands \fBmark-good\fR and \fBmark-bad\fR can be used to set the state of a slot

explicitly. These subcommands usually operate on the currently booted slot if not specified per

additional parameter.

The subcommand \fBmark-active\fR allows one to manually switch to a different slot. Here too,

the desired slot can be given per parameter, otherwise the currently booted one is used.

The system configuration file is the central configuration in RAUC that

abstracts the loosely coupled storage setup, partitioning and boot strategy of

your board to a coherent redundancy setup world view for RAUC.

RAUC configuration files are loaded from one of the listed directories in

order of priority, only the first file found is used:

\fB/etc/rauc/\fR, \fB/run/rauc/\fR, \fB/usr/lib/rauc/\fR.

The \fBsystem.conf\fR is expected to describe the system RAUC runs on in a way

that all relevant information for performing updates and making decisions are

given.

Similar to other configuration files used by RAUC,

the system configuration uses a key-value syntax (similar to those known

from .ini files).

rauc is developed by Jan Luebbe, Enrico Joerns, Juergen Borleis and contributors.
