According to the Mender 1.5 document - https://docs.mender.io/1.5/artifacts/variables#mender_partition_alignment_kb Alignment of partitions used when building partitioned images, expressed in kiB. Default value is 8192 . But when it comes to Mender 1.7 document - https://docs.mender.io/1.7/artif…

Hi, in the case a had used MENDER_PARTITION_ALIGNMENT = "8388608". Thanks

No solve, I tried with this value but de partitions with yocto rocko are diferente of yocto thud and when I used the new artifact to update an old device, the device broken. Any one has a ideia of why this diference in the partitions? technically the variables has the same value. Thanks
