Hi @TheYoctoJester,

We’re installing it via Yocto using the `https://github.com/mendersoftware/meta-mender.git` repository.

Additionally, could you shed some light on where the “bad version” issue might be originating from?

I’ve found a similar issue here, but unfortunately there are no answers to this:

Thanks for your help!
