What you will need

• A base station on the same network as the Duckiedrone with Duckietown Shell (dts) installed

• A connected Duckiedrone: First connection

• Several minutes; the exact duration depends on the images to download and your network connection

What you will get

• Updated Duckiedrone containers and base-station tools

How to update the software

Keep the Duckiedrone containers and the Duckietown tools on your base station up to date. These procedures update the base-station tools and pull the latest Duckiedrone containers for the active Duckietown Shell profile.

How to update a Duckiedrone

To pull the latest containers for your Duckiedrone, open a terminal on your base station and run:

dts duckiebot update ROBOT_NAME

Replace ROBOT_NAME with the hostname of your Duckiedrone, for example amelia. Wait for the command to finish; it can take several minutes, depending on the images that must be downloaded and your network connection.

Attention

Run this procedure after the first boot.

Run these commands in order. First, update the Duckietown Shell (dts) itself:

pipx upgrade duckietown-shell

Then update the Duckietown Shell commands:
