Abstract: A system set of a utility node device, such as a kernel and/or root file system, may be updated by utilizing a multi-system set configuration. For example, the multi-system set configuration may include a first system set that is generally configured to act as an “active” set, a second system set (e.g., “idle” set) that is configured to operate when the first system set is non-operational or in an “idle” state, and a third system set that is configured to operate when the first and second system sets are non-operational. During an update of a system set, an update package may be applied to the second “idle” system set, while the first “active” system set remains operational. The utility node device may comprise a smart utility meter, sensor, control device, transformer, switch, relay, or the like.

Abstract translation: 可以通过利用多系统集合配置来更新诸如内核和/或根文件系统的效用节点设备的系统集合。 例如，多系统集合配置可以包括通常被配置为充当“活动”集合的第一系统集合，被配置为当第一系统集合 是不可操作或处于“空闲”状态，以及被配置为在第一和第二系统组不可操作时操作的第三系统组。 在更新系统集合期间，可以将更新包应用于第二“空闲”系统集，而第一“活动”系统集保持可操作。 公用事业节点装置可以包括智能公用事业计量表，传感器，控制装置，变压器，开关，继电器等。

Abstract: Software and/or firmware of a utility node device may be updated by utilizing an update package that includes multiple update items related to different types of the software and/or firmware. The utility node device may selectively install one or more of the multiple update items based on a type of the software and/or firmware that is currently installed on the device. The different types of software and/or firmware may relate to different versions of the software and/or firmware and/or different types of hardware. In some instances, an update item of the update package comprises a delta file that contains differences between different versions of the software and/or firmware. The utility node device may comprise a smart utility meter, sensor, control device, transformer, switch, relay, or the like.

Abstract translation: 可以通过利用包括与不同类型的软件和/或固件相关的多个更新项的更新包来更新效用节点设备的软件和/或固件。 实用程序节点设备可以基于当前安装在设备上的软件和/或固件的类型来选择性地安装多个更新项目中的一个或多个。 不同类型的软件和/或固件可以涉及软件和/或固件的不同版本和/或不同类型的硬件。 在某些情况下，更新包的更新项目包括包含软件和/或固件的不同版本之间的差异的增量文件。 公用事业节点装置可以包括智能公用事业计量表，传感器，控制装置，变压器，开关，继电器等。
