Before that, the cost for applying changes after deployment was estimated so high, that most projects tend to delay deployment until all required and wanted features were implemented.

Now, as the devices are deployed as soon as the hardware is considered stable, these devices start to provide functionality early and therefore the developers can get better feedback on the provided functionality.

The project will be continued to extend the functionality with features already being in development.
The latest development includes enhanced checksum verification where the hash of the firmware image is checked on each boot by the bootloader and considers updating the standby ROM slot after each successful update to be more failsafe.
The project will be continued to extend the functionality and security with features already being in development.
The latest development includes further security enhancements by implementing checksum verification during startup where the hash of the firmware image is checked on each boot by the bootloader.
It also considers including the device identifier into the signature to prevent confounding of images for different device types.
Last, the standby ROM slot can be updated right after each successful update to be more failsafe.
In addition, the information provided by the device about the firmware status will be enhanced to allow better control and reduce maintenance effort even more.

A web interface to review the published information is currently in development.
