I’m working on integrating Mender for A/B OTA updates into the Toradex tdx-reference-multimedia-image for the Apalis iMX8, built with Yocto and the Toradex BSP. My goal is to produce a .teziimg that includes the full Mender configuration—client, A/B partition layout, and U-Boot environment—ready for deployment via Toradex Easy Installer (Tezi) and capable of OTA updates . I’m using u-boot-toradex as the bootloader.Will u-boot-toradex (as patched by meta-mender-toradex-nxp) fully support Mender’s A/B requirements, especially boot counting and partition switching?

Hello!
Thank you for your question. Unfortunately, the specific integration of Mender A/B updates with u-boot-toradex isn’t covered in the available documentation, so I can’t provide a direct answer on that topic. However, I can offer some insights into Toradex’s update solutions that might be helpful.
Torizon OS: Toradex offers Torizon OS, which includes built-in over-the-air (OTA) update capabilities. This might be a suitable alternative if you’re looking for integrated update solutions. You can learn more about it here.
Custom Yocto Builds: For those developing custom Yocto builds, Toradex provides BSP layers and reference images that serve as a foundation for building embedded Linux systems. Additionally, you have the flexibility to customize the U-Boot environment and boot process. More information can be found here.
If you’re particularly interested in OTA updates, I recommend exploring Torizon OS for its integrated capabilities.
If you need further information on U-Boot configuration options or implementing updates in Toradex systems, feel free to ask. You can also explore additional resources on the Toradex Community and GitHub.
