Hi @Deepika,

Ok, so this is a Yocto build and you are following this tutorial [Docker](https://hub.mender.io/t/docker/324), right?

Are you using the `docker-artifact-gen` script as provided here? [mender-update-modules/docker/module-artifact-gen/docker-artifact-gen at master · mendersoftware/mender-update-modules · GitHub](https://github.com/mendersoftware/mender-update-modules/blob/master/docker/module-artifact-gen/docker-artifact-gen)

Can you possibly drop the output of `mender-artifact read` on the artifact?

Greetz,  
Josef
