I did some work this year to provide a reliable way for some customers of us to install Yocto's images in field, and I have published last week the sources. Here the link of the announcement: http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.comp.embedded.eldk/2397 Mainly, it is a tool that can be stored in the rootfs or will be put in a separate initrd image and whose goal is only to update the system. I have tried to describe pros and cons of several different solutions (updating via bootloader ? single copy against dual copy ?) - you can find details in the doc directory in the swupdate repository. Maybe someone of you can find this helpful, and I will be happy if I could get some feedback.
