Witekio x Mender

Understanding Yocto Variables and Overrides

In partnership with Mender, this session explores the mechanisms behind Yocto — helping teams build custom distributions and integrate OTA update solutions like Mender into their embedded Linux stack.

Mastering Yocto Variables and Mender Integration for Custom Builds

Yocto Tutorial - Understanding variables and overrides

In this hands-on webinar, Witekio and Mender explain how to leverage Yocto variables and overrides to create tailored embedded Linux systems. You’ll also learn how to seamlessly integrate Mender for secure and scalable over-the-air (OTA) updates.

This session is designed for Platform Engineers, Product Managers, and Technical Leads who want deeper control over their embedded software stack and maintenance lifecycle.

What you’ll learn:

  • How Yocto variables and overrides influence build behavior
  • Creating custom Linux images and software packages
  • Best practices for integrating Mender OTA update services
  • Securing your update pipeline and ensuring rollback reliability
  • How to streamline team workflows with automation and long-term maintenance in mind


Whether you’re building a new product or scaling an existing one, this session helps you strengthen your Yocto toolset and plan for reliable post-deployment updates.
