Hi @dhiry2k , Thanks a lot for the contribution. I am currently replicating and verifying the steps, and there are some places where typos need to be fixed or minor additions are required. I am taking the liberty of adding it to your original post. Hope this is okay for you. Greetz, Josef

sorry for the late reply. yes that is fine and worked great on my system .

Hi @dhiry2k Thank you again for sharing your experience integrating Mender with Boot2Qt on the Apalis iMX8. The board-specific details you provided are extremely helpful and not easy to find elsewhere. While reviewing your setup and trying to adapt it to newer Yocto releases, I noticed that on mor…

HI @AYJF , Thanks for reaching out! The meta-mender-toradex-nxp layer is not available on the scarthgap release (yet), as nobody took the effort to finalize and check the forward porting yet.
