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.
