-Variant Using Multiple Keyspace Files</title><prolog><metadata><keywords/></metadata></prolog><conbody>
-<p>This topic describes the use of multiple keyspace files on multiple ROFS
-layers to create a device variant. </p>
-<section><title>Introduction</title> <p>The central respository consists of
-keyspaces used to store application settings. The device variant creators
-need to modify these settings for every variant of the device. </p> <p>In
-the older method the variant engineer has to branch out the exisiting keyspace
-files , modify the settings and reflash the device with the new keyspace files.
-The disadvantage of the older method is that the variant engineer has to maintain
-multiple keyspace files. The modified keyspace must have the same files name
-as the existing one. </p> </section>
-<section><title>Multiple ROFS layers </title> <p>The central repository now
-supports keyspace that is composed of multiple files. A new keyspace file
-is created for a new ROFS layer. This enables the variant engineers to modify
-a specific setting in the keyspace in one layer and merge the repository with
-the new settings. The new feature to modify specific settings of a keyspace
-reduces the time to create different variants. </p> </section>
-<section><title>Merge the settings</title> <p>The figure below shows how a
-specific setting is modified in the new meachnism. In the example below the
-keyspace d is modified in the new ROFS layer to create a variant. The central
-repository reads the keyspace files and merges the modified settings of <codeph>keyspace
-d</codeph>. The settings in the higher ROFS layer get the priority of the
-settings. The higher ROFS layers cannot modify the global properties of the
-keyspaces like metadata, owner information and the access control information. </p> <fig id="GUID-BABA2027-0E54-575A-8A59-EB771CF46529">
