Automatic device resets

Legato Application Framework
1

Hey everybody,
I am using the WP76xx devices and noticed an interesting behaviour. If I reset the device multiple times, the software on the device resets itself to the initial state. This means all my apps are gone and I need to flash the device again.
I guess this is the intended behaviour to recover a device if you flash a faulty version during development. In my case, the reboots of the device are intentional.
Is there a way to disable this behaviour, so the software won’t reset itself after x resets?

Let me know if you need more details.

this is the rollback mechanism:

I suggest building the applicaiton together with legato.cwe image:

if you install some application to module, it will have one more folder.
After that if you type “update -g” to mark the system to be good, it will only have one directory:
