Threadx On-the-fly update

[potatobandit]

Hello, 

I'm trying to find more information regarding ThreadX's on-the-fly properties update feature. In the ST Wiki article, there is mention of this feature, but none of the links and webpages seem to provide any details regarding what this feature is or how to use it. 

Introduction to THREADX - stm32mcu

Is the on the fly update the same as 'over the air' updates? Are there any articles about this feature? Have there been any coding examples showing how this feature is implemented?

Thanks

It looks like "on-the-fly" refers to ability to update parts of running system. If so, this is based on the "modules" feature. You can download update to some module, swap it in and run without rebooting whole system. Like it was in the old good VxWorks.

Of course various settings can be changed in runtime, such as network parameters, IP address, keys and certificates, power management parameters etc.
