Auto-update block

There are two modes:

1. Auto-update = True — in this mode the Unit follows the Repo according to the mass update flags.
2. Auto-update = False — manual update mode for the Unit; requires you to specify a branch and a commit.

Platform selection for Compilable Repos

This option is available only for Units that are created from Compilable Repos. Each item in the selector is a ready-made binary version of the application that corresponds to a target Tag.

INFO

These parameters are taken from the assets of Git repository releases. Unit Developers usually store precompiled versions of their applications there: compiled microcontroller firmware, .exe files, .bin files, etc. GitLab and GitHub also include release archives there: zip, tar, and so on.
