> repo sync

Thats how we got the boot2qt sources.

after that we downloaded mender using git clone to kirkstone branch.

> git clone [GitHub - mendersoftware/meta-mender-community: Community supported Yocto Project layers (Board integrations) for Mender for different boards](https://github.com/mendersoftware/meta-mender-community.git) -b kirkstone

updated the local.conf baed on lessons from this post.
