How it works
Mender is an open source project to help secure connected embedded devices by providing a safe and reliable software update process.
We know the risks of updating devices in the field. That’s why Mender uses a dual A/B rootfs partition layout, secure communication via TLS, and carries out integrity checks on images prior to deployment.
Mender currently supports Linux-based devices that use U-Boot and provides a meta layer for the Yocto Project for very easy integration with Yocto-based distributions.

It has also been integrated into many production devices, which can be done by following the device integration documentation.
Right now, we are implementing support for a...

Mender just published a Quickstart Guide to the Yocto Project SDK, which can be found under our resources page (click here for the web version). Thank you Scott Rifenbark, who is responsible for much of the Yocto Project's documentation.
While Mender will initially focus on supporting the Yocto Project due to the overwhelming demand from the embedded Linux community, we definitely plan on supporting additional platforms based on community demand. One of our core values is to listen to...
