SRM
What is "SRM"?
SRM stands for "Secured Remote Management," the name for our online versioning service primarily focused on firmware version management and additional automated services for our devices.
When more releases (firmware versions) are available for a given product, SRM enables to select and upgrade to the desired release. To work with SRM, the device has to be connected to the computer with an internet connection. When an SRM request is issued, the appropriate software tool establishes a secured connection over the internet with a firmware server. The product identification is sent over this channel to the server. The server responds with the payload needed for the selected operation. Some operations may require user credentials, which can be provided by siliXcon.
For OEM customers, SRM also offers container maintenance. A container stands for a firmware release locked together with configuration (typically, linked to the customer's solution).
