I seem to remember seaniko7 also building another one... .
Actually, I don't even remember if that's the same updater from the initramfs recovery shell that's run at boot, or a third (?) one :?. |
I can not say for certain either.
The only thing I am sure of, is this system isn't put together in any obvious way. Almost as if it was done in a hurry, out of the "spare (firmare) parts" that where laying on the shelf.
Plenty of room for research into the details.
That "auto-pilot" updater that runs from the recovery shell, before the usual runtime file systems are mounted would give us the most opportunity to fix-up the system.
And there are what? Three K3s with active threads at the moment that could make use of this sort of "K3 Rescue" system?

Another thing to check while researching the details -
Can the "network console' be enabled? (No end user serial port connection required to interact with the "K3 Rescue" system).
