Manage firmware versions

To better organize and track firmware versions, Knox E-FOTA On-Premises includes a versions list that allows you to record firmware test results and block certain versions.

To view the versions list:

1. Sign in to the Knox E-FOTA On-Premises console.
2. Click your account icon.
3. In the menu, click Settings.
4. The left navigation pane refreshes with a new set of entries. Click Versions.

The version list displays, and you can filter by device Model / Sales Code or search by firmware version ID to quickly identify the firmware versions you need. The list shows the following information for each firmware version:

• Type — Indicates whether the firmware is intended for deployment on devices (user), or for testing (dummy). See Create a test campaign for more details.
• Open Date — The date the firmware version was publicly released.
• Os Version — The Android version that corresponds to the firmware version.
• Security Patch — The date the security patch was publicly released.
• Firmware Version — The full name of the firmware version. Click the name to view the firmware details, which includes a description and specific device information.

Click the Actions dropdown to perform the following actions:

• Upload firmware versions — Select and upload new firmware versions from your PC. You can upload firmware to Knox E-FOTA On-Premises even if it’s not compatible with any devices enrolled on your server.
• Mark as Tested — Adds an icon to the Test result column to indicate that the firmware version was successfully tested for compatibility with business apps. When creating a campaign, selecting Latest firmware (Tested) as the target version allows you to update the latest tested firmware version from the Versions menu without modifying the campaign settings.
• Unmark from Tested — Removes the tested icon from the Test result column.
• Add to Blocklist — Locks the firmware version, preventing it from being downloaded and installed on devices.
• Remove from Blocklist — Unlocks the firmware version and allows it to be downloaded and installed on devices again.
• Download Versions Scenario — Downloads a JSON file that contains device version scenario information, including a list of changes between the current firmware version and the target version.
• Delete all — Deletes all firmware files from your Knox E-FOTA On-Premises server.
