I have a Lenovo ThinkPad X1 with Windows 10 installed on it. I wanted to get started and evaluate Mender with the latest Mender 2.1 beta release, using my Raspberry Pi 3 board. The main goal with this new onboarding process (as opposed to 2.0 version) is that it will take you through installing Mender and deploying a demo application update on your existing physical device and OS in as little...

We are excited to announce our collaboration with NXP to facilitate the ever increasing demand for over-the-air (OTA) software updates in industrial, consumer, end-to-end security, privacy and smart connected Internet of Things (IoT) markets.

Mender 2.1 beta is here and ready for you to try!

The focus for Mender 2.1 is Application-based onboarding. The goal is that new Mender users can deploy their own application in as little time as possible when starting from scratch!

The key features of Mender 2.1 beta are covered below, and you can see the detailed items in the Mender 2.1.0 beta release notes.

An easier way to get started with over-the-air updates has been released to Hosted Mender!

The new onboarding tutorial will take you through installing Mender and deploying a demo application on your existing device and OS, which should take less than 10 minutes.

After this you will be guided through creating your own update and deploying this to your device as well.

Thanks to the Mend...

We are happy to announce the production releases of Mender 2.0.0 and 1.7.1!

The focus for Mender 2.0 is support for Application updates, with full control and customizability over how a software is installed. This makes Mender unique for providing both robust system- and application level updates and it is this combination that enables Mender to solve all your needs for OTA updates.

Targeted application-level updates, which can be just a few kilobytes in size (compared to potentially hundreds of megabytes for system-level updates), enables much lower bandwidth usage, faster updates and more frequent deployments.

The key features of Mender 2.0 are covered below, and you can see the detailed items in the Mender 2.0 release notes.
