Hi @mterwoord,

You mean just installing the Update Modules on the client? Or would you like to generate Update Module Artifacts during a Yocto build as well?

You can make sure the Update Modules are installed by providing the following packageconfig as is done in meta-mender-demo,

[https://github.com/mendersoftware/meta-mender/blob/master/meta-mender-demo/recipes-mender/mender/mender\_%.bbappend#L9](https://github.com/mendersoftware/meta-mender/blob/master/meta-mender-demo/recipes-mender/mender/mender_%25.bbappend#L9)

We do not have any classes to generate the actual Update Module artifacts, this is very depended on what Update Module you are using and hard to create generic solutions.

I have started on writing something for the [dir-overlay](https://hub.mender.io/t/directory-overlay/529) module, this can work as inspiration.
