Device Management Kit
A Device Management Kit (DMK) is a file that contains firmware update files for one or more devices.
A DMK file contains:
- All files necessary to perform firmware update of a single or multiple catalogs.
- Digital signature files for validation.
- Release Notes if it was included in the file.
Place DMK files in folders monitored by
ControlFLASH Plus
and the software will search all the monitored folders whenever it looks for available revisions. The monitored folders can be added on the Firmware Locations
tab of the Settings
dialog box.
TIP:
We don't recommend that you store DMK files in the legacy
ControlFLASH
installation folder, because in rare cases, DMK files in that folder can be deleted.Verification of DMK’s publisher
The certificate of Rockwell Automation has changed since November 2019.
The new DMK is either:
- Signed by Rockwell Automation with a new certificate.
- Signed by a third-party company.
If the DMK is new, and the publisher's certificate is not in the ControlFLASH Plus Trusted Publisher Certificate list, you can choose to trust the publisher.
