OTA update for raspberrypi4

Question

Hello, Nik here, I want to upload and update my normal python files to raspberry pi remotely (through OTA) using Greengrass core. Can anyone tell me, How can I do this with Greengrass, or is it possible to do by using AWS Greengrass?

Thank you

Hey Nik,

Not sure what the end goal is here but on Greengrass you would have to create a component (your python files) and provide a recipe which then you would have to deploy to your core device. You can follow [this tutorial](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/greengrass/v2/developerguide/defer-component-updates-tutorial.html) on how to do it using the GDK (Greengrass Development Kit)

If you are just asking a general question regarding how to copy files over to a remote device where you have greengrass installed without creating a component, you could use tools linux provides (if you are using linux) to copy or sync files such a `scp` or `rsync` [rsync tutorial](https://www.redhat.com/sysadmin/sync-rsync)

Hope this helps,

Nelson

Hi Nik,

you can use the [Systems Manager Agent component](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/greengrass/v2/developerguide/systems-manager-agent-component.html). AWS Systems Manager has a [Patch Manager](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/de_de/systems-manager/latest/userguide/systems-manager-patch.html) to automate patching.

Cheers,
