About the DAL OS firmware

DAL OS Digi Accelerated Linux Operating System is a Linux-based operating system that runs on Digi devices, providing the core platform for networking, security, device management, and application execution and is designed for embedded and IoT devices. It delivers a secure, stable, and scalable platform that manages hardware resources, networking, and applications, while enabling centralized configuration and management through tools like Digi Remote Manager. It is designed for secure, scalable, and long-term deployments, enabling remote management, firmware updates, and reliable operation across connected systems.

What it allows us to do

DAL OS allows Digi to offer a secure, standardized, and remotely manageable platform across its device portfolio, enabling consistent device behavior, centralized management, over-the-air updates, and scalable deployment of applications and connectivity services. It also provides the foundation for long-term support through LTS releases while still enabling ongoing innovation through feature updates.

Why it matters to you

It provides a reliable, secure, and consistently managed platform for your devices, reducing complexity in deployment and ongoing operations. It enables centralized management, remote updates, and scalable control of device fleets, which lowers operational overhead and improves efficiency. Additionally, its LTS-based lifecycle allows you to maintain stable, predictable systems while still having the flexibility to adopt new features when it aligns with your needs.

How a firmware update works

DAL OS firmware updates can be performed locally on individual devices or remotely across an entire fleet. Individual devices can be updated through the DAL OS Web UI or CLI consoles by uploading and installing a firmware package directly on the device.

For larger deployments, Digi Remote Manager enables centralized firmware management using templates, bulk operations, and automated workflows to deploy updates consistently across many devices. Administrators can schedule updates, automate rollout policies, and apply approved firmware versions to targeted device groups, providing a scalable and efficient update process for both small and large deployments.

In simple terms

DAL OS is the main software that runs your Digi devices. It controls how the device works, connects to networks, stays secure, and runs applications. It also lets you manage and update your devices remotely via Digi Remote Manager, so they keep working reliably over time.
