BQ uses an online database to manage warranty information, as part of their customer service.
All their devices join this system, and to date, Ubuntu devices are operating without this.
Adding to the phones in the market is probably a bit late now, but for the recently launched tablets, BQ request they join this system.
The device needs to make a GET request for the following endpoint:
http://devices-staging.bq.com/api/isAlive/$serial_number/$ota_version/1
I believe the $serial_number is available from android properties, and $ota_version is available from system-image-cli
The request should only be made over wifi networks.
No user interface or interaction is required. BQ's android devices do this daily, which seems a bit excessive. Perhaps we should do it after a reboot, since OTA's regularly trigger reboots. |
