Software update framework for embedded systems

swupdate is a Linux update agent with the goal to provide an efficient and safe way to update an embedded system.

 - Install on embedded media (eMMC, SD, Raw NAND, NOR and SPI-NOR flashes)
 - Allow delivery single image for multiple devices
 - Multiple interfaces for getting software
   1. local storage
   2. integrated web server
   3. integrated REST client connector to hawkBit
   4. remote server download
 - Software delivered as images, gzipped tarball, etc
 - Allow custom handlers for installing FPGA/ microcontroller firmware.
 - Power-Off safe
