These disk images (*.img or *.sdimg) are based on images provided by board
manufacturers and are ready to install the Mender Client. They are used to
provision the device storage for devices without Mender running already.
Mender provides images based on the following distributions:
Note that we do not offer commercial support for these images. They are based on images supported by board manufacturers, like the Raspberry Pi Foundation, and provide the same software and configuration options as the original images. Please use the support resources available from the board manufacturer, or contact us if you have any questions on the Mender integration.
The RPi5 integration with mender-convert currently uses a separate U-Boot binary with `CONFIG_BOOTDELAY=-2` for our RPi5 images. This is a workaround for an issue where RPi5 with U-Boot is stuck waiting for UART.
