# Operate the firmware

There are two methods of updating the firmware of this product: a global update and a differential update.

According to the characteristics of each, it is possible to use them in different ways depending on the usage situation.

|   | General Update | differential update |  |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| update area | Setting area | Not applicable (Amnemo setting information is retained) | Not applicable (Amnemo setting information is retained) |
| rootfs | The **entire update** area will be initialized, so any packages that users have installed on their own will also be removed. | **Differential updates** User's own installed packages will be retained. |  |
| userfs | not subject (to) | not subject (to) |  |
| shared area | not subject (to) | not subject (to) |  |
| SSD | not subject (to) | not subject (to) |  |
| Update redundant areas | addressable | designation not possible |  |
| Communication cost at download time | large (e.g. serving size) | small |  |
| update time | **long (time)** | **Short** ・Starting area Both sides cannot be updated at the same time. When updating both sides of an area, area synchronization is required separately. ・ Depending on the number of packages with differences, it may take longer than an overall update. |  |

 **NOTE**

- Compact routers (amnimo C series) do not have this feature.
- In order to update the firmware, the package repository credentials must be registered. For more information, please refer to " [Doing a Quick Configuration](https://manual.amnimo.com/en/docs/gui-users-manual-en/basic-operation-en-3/configure-simple-settings/) ".
- It is not possible to specify individual firmware packages to be updated.
- This function uses the apt package management system.
- The "--force-confold" option is applied when updating packages. This ensures that even if the amnemo configuration information for each package is changed in a package update, the amnemo configuration information before the change is used.
