But are there other tools that we have available to help?

Yeah, so the interactive style package update that lots of people are familiar with is not really applicable to an embedded or industrial product with a defined use case.

Typically, you're going to be building the software for those images with the packages that are needed to fulfill that purpose.

Nobody should be shipping full-fat Raspberry Pi OS and just trimming bits off, putting it in the field.

It's a big no-no.

So given that, you're generating your software build, you're deploying it to the device, you know what's in it because the tools that we provide generate software building materials.

So certainly one of the tools that we use are PyImageGen and also actually PyGen, the tool that's used to generate the distribution.

What about Raspberry Pi Connect is important? I mean, I understand it allows secure point-to-point communication, but what does Connect offer that other update mechanisms don't provide?
