Description
-----------

CAPsMAN can upgrate CAP devices. If CAPsMAN device and CAP device(s) are
differnet architecture you need to store packages for CAP device's
architecture on local storage.

This script automatically downloads these packages.

Requirements and installation
-----------------------------

Make sure you have the `package-path` set in your CAPsMAN configuration,
as that is where packages are downloaded to and where the system expects
them.

Then just install the script on CAPsMAN device.
Depending on whether you use `wifi` package (`/interface/wifi`), `wifiwave2`
package (`/interface/wifiwave2`) or legacy wifi with CAPsMAN (`/caps-man`)
you need to install a different script.

For `wifi` (RouterOS 7.13 and later):

    $ScriptInstallUpdate capsman-download-packages.wifi;

For `wifiwave2` (up to RouterOS 7.12):

    $ScriptInstallUpdate capsman-download-packages.wifiwave2;

For legacy CAPsMAN:

    $ScriptInstallUpdate capsman-download-packages.capsman;

Optionally add a scheduler to run after startup. For `wifi` (RouterOS 7.13
and later):

    /system/scheduler/add name=capsman-download-packages on-event="/system/script/run capsman-download-packages.wifi;" start-time=startup;

For `wifiwave2` (up to RouterOS 7.12):

    /system/scheduler/add name=capsman-download-packages on-event="/system/script/run capsman-download-packages.wifiwave2;" start-time=startup;

For legacy CAPsMAN:

    /system/scheduler/add name=capsman-download-packages on-event="/system/script/run capsman-download-packages.capsman;" start-time=startup;

Packages available in local storage in older version are downloaded
unconditionally.

If no packages are found the script downloads a default set of packages:

 * `wifi`: `routeros` and `wifi-qcom` for *arm* and *arm64*, `wifi-qcom-ac` for *arm*
 * `wifiwave2`: `routeros` and `wifiwave2` for *arm* and *arm64*
 * legacy CAPsMAN: `routeros` and `wireless` for *arm* and *mipsbe*

> ℹ️ **Info**: If you have packages in the directory and things go wrong for
> what ever unknown reason: Remove **all** packages and start over.

Usage and invocation
--------------------

Run the script manually:

    /system/script/run capsman-download-packages.wifi;

... or from scheduler.

After package download all out-of-date CAP devices are upgraded automatically.
For a rolling upgrade install extra script
[capsman-rolling-upgrade](capsman-rolling-upgrade.md).
