Hello all, I am trying to implement delta updates using the mender-binary-delta tool but this does not seem to work. The deployment status was constantly stuck at downloading and I did not observe any progress.

I read through the following article: [Delta update support | Mender documentation](https://docs.mender.io/operating-system-updates-yocto-project/customize-mender/delta-update-support)

This mentions that the delta updates are supported mainly on yocto build.  
I was wondering if delta updates are possible on a device running ubuntu OS or you must have a yocto build. If delta updates are possible on a ubuntu system, can anyone please give me a proper guide to this?
