With 13r2, a new [[Reference13r2:Concept_App_Platform#App_Platform_disk_space_warning | AP manager threshold]] can be configured for the used disk space. When the maximum percentage of disk space is reached, all apps are stopped to prevent all disk space from being used, resulting in an unbootable app platform. By default, the threshold is set to 90% disk space, you can change it in the [[Reference13r2:Concept_App_Platform#Alarms_and_events | Alarms and events section of the AP manager]]. There you should also configure an email address of the responsible person who should receive an email warning when the disk space is 10% below the configured threshold.

Applies To

This information applies to:

  • All V13r1 capable innovaphone devices

Migration Policy

Configuration Changes

In 13r2 we have introduced some new features which are automatically configured if you use the installer to setup your new 13r2 from scratch. If you upgrade an existing installation you have to setup the configuration manual.

  • A Tutorial App to provide additional help to the end user. The configuration must be done according to the myApps concept article.

Application Platform and its applications

AP Manager

With 13r2, a new AP manager threshold can be configured for the used disk space. When the maximum percentage of disk space is reached, all apps are stopped to prevent all disk space from being used, resulting in an unbootable app platform. By default, the threshold is set to 90% disk space, you can change it in the Alarms and events section of the AP manager. There you should also configure an email address of the responsible person who should receive an email warning when the disk space is 10% below the configured threshold.

Known Problems

Resources Considerations

New firmware always has more features which in turn requires more resources. Growing firmware will thus consume both more flash and RAM for sure. A given system configuration will run flawlessly after a firmware largely only if there is still enough memory left after boot.

Standard configurations which are according the specs will run on all supported hardware. However, unusual configurations may not. It is a good idea to examine both flash and RAM memory left on high load situations in your existing configuration to see if there is enough resources left for an upgrade. Please find details in Reference:Device Health Check.

RAM

As a rough rule of thumb, a v13r2 release will consume ~ 1 MB RAM more compared to a v13r1 firmware.

Flash Memory

As a rough rule of thumb, a v13r2 release will consume ~ 0.4 MB flash more compared to a v13r1 firmware.

New firmware comes with new code for new features which consumes more flash memory for the firmware image. For this reason, devices may run out of flash memory during upgrade to v13r2. Here is the recommended procedure for upgrade on such devices:

  • save entire configuration
  • reset to factory defaults
  • load saved configuration (this will reorganize the flash memory usage)
  • upgrade to new firmware

When there is still not enough flash memory available to store the new firmware (Web GUI end in a Firmwareupdate failed:no space / Update client end in a Error 0x00130001 Major FLASHMAN0 no space event) please open a presales case with your current configuration file.
