Rugix is an open-source tool suite for building robust, Linux-powered products. It consists of two tools:
- Rugix Ctrl: On-device update engine. Deploy updates with confidence, never bricking a device.
- Rugix Bakery: Custom Linux build system. Build OTA-ready images in days, not months.
Use both together for a complete solution, or integrate Rugix Ctrl into your existing Yocto or Buildroot workflow.
Get started today! Build your first system and deploy an update, all in under 30 minutes! 🚀
This repository contains Rugix Ctrl, a state-of-the-art update and state management engine:
- A/B Updates: Atomic system updates with automatic rollback on failure.
- Delta Updates: Highly-efficient delta updates minimizing bandwidth.
- Signature Verification: Cryptographic verification before installing anything anywhere.
- State Management: Flexible state management inspired by container-based architectures.
- Vendor-Agnostic: Compatible with various fleet management solutions (avoids lock-in).
- Flexible Boot Flows: Supports any bootloader and boot process.
- Yocto Integration: Ready-made Yocto layers available.
Rugix Ctrl supports different update strategies (symmetric A/B, asymmetric with recovery, incremental updates) and can be adapted to almost any requirements you may have for robust and secure updates.
Works with Yocto, Buildroot, and other Linux build systems.
For details, check out Rugix Ctrl's documentation.
Robust over-the-air updates require system images built to support atomic updates. Traditional tools like Yocto are powerful but complex to set up and maintain, often taking teams months to build a production-ready pipeline. This complexity also creates risk: often only one person at a company truly understands the setup.
Rugix Bakery makes building OTA-ready system images (almost) as easy as writing a Dockerfile. Spend your time on what provides value to your users, not system-level details and build pipeline complexity.
For details, check out the Rugix Bakery repository and documentation.
Rugix is fully open-source, including all features like delta updates. We integrate with different fleet management solutions and build systems, so you stay in control without vendor lock-in.
Rugix empowers teams to ship robust products fast and without compromising on best practices like read-only root filesystems, atomic OTA updates, and reproducible builds.
