## Set Board Name

To set a board name using the `arduino-app-cli`, we can use the `set-name` command. Note that this requires additional permissions, so we need to use `sudo`.
To set a board name using the `arduino-app-cli`, we can use the `set-name` command.

```sh
sudo arduino-app-cli board set-name "my-board"
arduino-app-cli board set-name "my-board"
```

This will change the name of the board, which will take effect after resetting the board.

## System configuration and updates

The `system` command allows you to manage system configuration and updates your board.

To check for updates, run:

```sh
arduino-app-cli system update
```
This will prompt you to install any available updates.

To enable or disable the network mode, use:

```sh
arduino-app-cli system network enable/disable
```

Network mode will enable ssh and allow to connect to the board over the network.

Finally, you can gain back some storage space by cleaning up unused containers and images by running:

```sh
arduino-app-cli system cleanup
```

## Bricks

Currently, it is only possible to list available Bricks and specific details for each Brick.
