No worry...and I have not written myself. It was inserted by Mariano, so
it looks like that swupdate at least for Mariano is "easy to use".
I think it is correct to point out that customization is required.
Compared to other update mechanism that I tested it was the easier to
implement.
Which "getting started" document or presentation were you using? The
documentation for mender (https://docs.mender.io/) is very
straight-forward (partly of course because it doesn't need to cover many
variations), while for swupdate
(http://sbabic.github.io/swupdate/swupdate.html) I found it less clear
how to begin.
