About:
Mender Artifact is a command-line interface tool designed to create, inspect, and modify Mender artifact files. These artifacts serve as the update packages for devices managed by the Mender IoT update manager. The tool provides essential functionality for managing over-the-air (OTA) software updates in embedded Linux environments.
Key Features:
  • Create and sign software update artifacts
  • Inspect artifact contents and metadata
  • Modify existing artifacts without rebuilding
  • Support for various payload types (rootfs, docker, etc.)
Use Cases:
  • Building firmware update packages for IoT devices
  • Inspecting and validating artifacts before deployment
  • Modifying artifact metadata for staging vs production environments
Alternatives:
  • swupd – Intel's OS update system, primarily for Clear Linux distributions
  • ostree – Git-like operating system repository system, focuses on binary deployment
