Yes. In our case we can only provision the NOR flash in the factory (which is too small for the real file system), so I have the swupd-client inside a small initramfs in NOR flash, and from there I can provision NAND flash using swupd verify -i All yocto based, but in its current state not in a generally useful shape for a wider audience. > > as > > well as for incremental updates.
