Ostro OS based software can be deployed to a target device in two ways:
Full Disk Flashing
A new software image is built and installed, completely replacing what was previously present on the device. It can be useful for initializing a device with Ostro OS. Software Update This is a component that Ostro OS borrows from Clear Linux* OS and consists of both a server and client component. The Software Update component is not tied to any specific platform or architecture, as long as the concept of rootfs/filesystem is supported.

ostro-image-noswupd (when building without swupd, the recommended mode for local image building)
ostro-image-swupd (when building with swupd, the recommended mode for deployment)
