And the post,
The official Mender documentation explains how Mender works. This is simply a board-specific complement to the official documentation.

But with these instructions,
mkdir mender-imx && cd mender-imx
repo init -u https://source.codeaurora.org/external/imx/imx-manifest -b imx-linux-sumo -m imx-4.14.98-2.0.0_ga.xml
wget --directory-prefix .repo/manifests https://raw.githubusercontent.com/mendersoftware/meta-mender-community/sumo/meta-mender-imx/scripts/imx-4.14.98-2.0.0_demo_mender.xml
repo init -m imx-4.14.98-2.0.0_demo_mender.xml
repo sync
DISTRO=fsl-imx-xwayland MACHINE=imx8mqevk . fsl-setup-mender.sh -b build
Which is not how it is currently done in that post as the imx-4.14.98-2.0.0_demo_mender.xml file was up-streamed.
