Dear Community,

I’m using Yocto SUMO version meta-mender for our FOTA update.

We are performing negative scenario where we are performing abrupt power off of the device during OS fota installation still in progress. After device boot up we observed that mender_boot_part, mender_boot_part_hex variables updated to boot from next partition. But the new partition contents were not completely written by mender as there was abrupt power off during the installation was in progress.
But question is why was the mender_boot_part, mender_boot_part_hex variables updated here though the new partition was not completed written. Please assist. Thanks
