Automatic system updates with mobile data
E-FOTA works next to an existing MDM solution, so yes it will work with your MDM as well. When enrolling new devices, make sure to have a Knox E-FOTA campaign assigned to them in the Knox portal. If thats done, devices will recieve E-FOTA automaticly, you don't need to push an app or permissions.
When deploying E-FOTA to existing hardware without resetting them, you have to push the app and set some permissions (if possible, use the Knox Service plugin for setting FOTA permissions: https://docs.samsungknox.com/admin/knox-platform-for-enterprise/knox-service-plugin/get-started/minimum-requirements/)
E-FOTA is developed by Samsung, all tough they share some API's with other vendors they do not share all of them. E-FOTA is such a that only works via their portal, the API it utilizes is not available for others.
Hello Michel ,
Thank you again for your response, it is extremely helpful for us.
If this is the "state of the art", or the most robust combination of tools to achieve mobile system updates, then I think we will explore it.
Again, thank you to Lizzie and yourself for the help, I will update this post if I require any more assistance.
