Create Firmware¶

The Create Firmware element is a task used to upload a firmware to EnOS by sending a HTTP request. It is the prerequisite to the lifecycle management of a device firmware in EnOS.

As the task would need information about the firmware to be created, you can create a form through a preceding task to gather the required information from users.

Properties¶

The following table describes the properties of the task.

Property	Description
Name	Specify a name for your own reference.
Product	Specify the product key to be associated with the firmware. You can use a UEL expression to extract the information from the variable of the Product Dropdown form element.
Firmware Name	Specify the name of the firmware. You can use a UEL expression to extract the information from a form.
Firmware Version	Specify the version of the firmware. You can use a UEL expression to extract the information from a form.
Signature Algorithm	Specify the signature algorithm (md5, sha256). You can use a UEL expression to extract the information from the variable of the Static Dropdown form element.
Firmware File	Specify the firmware file to be uploaded. You can use a UEL expression to extract the file from a form.
Firmware Description	Specify a description for the firmware. You can use a UEL expression to extract the information from a form.
Result Variable Name	Specify a unique name for identifying the JSON variable that is used to store the response parameters. The ID of the created firmware is stored in the `data.firmwareId` parameter.
Status Code Variable Name	Specify a unique name for identifying the variable that is used to store the response status code. Status code 0 indicates that the task is successful.

Note

You need to specify the variable names if you want to display or process the task result in a later process element.

Results¶

The following code shows an example of the result returned when the task is successful.

{
   "code":0,
   "msg":"OK",
   "requestId":"97e02352-c549-401f-b32e-647843d5d6fd",
   "data":{
      "firmwareId":"5f18fae74f051a001b222f5c"
   }
}

If you specified variable names, all parameters will be stored in the result variable and the code parameter will be stored in the status code variable. You can obtain the parameter values by using the dot notation. For example, if the result variable name is “result”, use ${result.data.firmwareId} to extract the ID of the created firmware.
