This Wiki page describes Mender OTA updater integration into the Yocto Project for the iMX8M Industrial Development Kit. Mender is a secure robust and industry leading software update system capable to handle a large number of devices.
Mender supports several extensions enabling features like Remote Terminal, Port Forward, File Transfer, and Device Configuration, together with the ability to monitor and alert.
The steps described on this Wiki page are primarily focused on integrating Mender updater into the Yocto Project. The well written official Mender documentation covers all the other important aspects of this utility.
Prerequisites
In this case the utility was integrated into the Yocto Project Release 3.1 (dunfell), allowing the Mender layer to share the same steps for host machine as for the Yocto Project by itself. Additional information can be found in the Yocto mega manual, a forum thread concerning repo usage for Mender integration can provide insight as well.
To prepare the machine, follow the Yocto Project prerequisites Wiki page.
